‘The Castles of Burgundy’ is this year’s highlight from Alea. Players develop their princedom and try to be faster and better than their fellow gamers. Because new supply and possible actions are controlled by dice, players’ plans need to be constantly adjusted according to their respective capabilities. Originally, Stefan Feld’s much more complex design has been streamlined in cooperation with Alea’s Stfan Brück resulting in a challenging territory building game that lets us discover new development possibilities with every new play.
