Description

The Castles of Burgundy: 8th Expansion – Trade Routes is a fantastic addition to the popular base game, designed by the renowned Stefan Feld. Released in 2017, this expansion is perfect for fans of the original game, offering a new layer of strategy and excitement. With its normal complexity, players familiar with board games will have no trouble diving in and learning the new mechanics. The expansion is designed for 2 to 4 players, making it a great option for small to medium-sized game nights. In Trade Routes, players receive a set of cards that form a trading route above their player board. The number of cards each player gets depends on the number of players, with 2 players receiving 5 cards, 3 players getting 4, and 4 players receiving 3. When selling goods, players place the corresponding tiles on their trading route cards, filling the display spaces from left to right. The twist is that if the color of a space matches the color of a tile, the player receives an immediate bonus, adding a new level of depth to the game. This expansion is a great way to breathe new life into the base game, offering fresh challenges and opportunities for players to develop new strategies and compete with their friends.
