Alright, I’ve played The Castle three more times since my last post and it’s official, I like this Carc the best. Since there is no end game scoring for incomplete sections, the game takes on that classic ‘so much to do, so little time’ Knizia feeling. The placement restrictions have also been relaxed which opens up more options for each turn (and often puts you in the predicament of deciding between being greedy and growing your sections or playing it safe and closing them off). Finally, bonus tiles that are awarded for hitting specific point values add another nice layer to the things you must consider on each turn. We’ve played it five times in the last three days (Kara 3, me 2) and I’m sure we’ll be playing it more in the next three days.
Why don't you post your board game du jour under Currents like the rest of your debilitating obsessions.
