Weirdly reminds me a bit of D&D this one. Hexes, chucking dice and modifying them, medieval theme. I'll never get rid of my 'Burgen von Burgund' I've laminated the player boards and made the tokens thicker myself. Gamefound can keep their 'XXXL cardboard chest'. Starting to move away from eurogames towards more interactive fare. Games like Castles will stay though. Even gamers that do not like Euros generally like the 'Burgers' on offer here. Old and young alike. I think that's a testament to how solid and addictive the mechanisms are in this game...

Great review, and that diamond geezer accent and low delivery gave me the uneasy feeling throughout that I might get shivved. LOL. Subscribed.

The cheapo version is the best one. Something compelling about the crap components. Also fits well with my crappy home printed expansion boards.

What do you think about the 20th anniversary edition? Have been on the fence about getting a pre-loved copy, does it come with improvements to the components?

We’ve not seen it mate but then it’s got to be better than the old version which looked like crap. However, the new version is more expensive so I guess it’s a trade off. Core game is still the same though which is the most important thing, right?

True. New one is a fair bit dearer, but then I guess it includes the expansions too. Thanks for the reply.

@@BoardGameBollocks Sadly, the new version looks worse and is just as bad in terms of component quality. I decided to pick up the old version, as it's half the price.

I wished there was some gameplay/ mechanical critique of the game, not just thematic and component ones. I know it’s a top Board Game Geek game, but a comparison to euro games of today would have been appreciated.

I am trying to learn the solo version, first time playing and you have to read the whole set of rules first. Secondly, I don’t understand who you are playing against. I think I will give this up and just play with my husband. I have never played a solo game before so I could be in left field. Any comments on playing it solo/- should I persist or give this up?

The game I am referring to is castles of burgundy. I don’t know if you read comments from older posts. I found a video that explains solo mode so I am getting it now. I should also say I am brand new to this hobby

Just got the new edition of this, doesn’t look like they addressed the player boards. Bit lazy of them really. If I were upgrading from the original I’d be a bit miffed.

@@BoardGameBollocks too many games games out there now, easy to miss a game after the cult of the new passes in two weeks, you hear things like "Feld is my favorite designer" and two weeks later everyone is onto a new game. Can't keep up. As a history teacher, I just liked the theme, so that is probably only reason I remember.
