Description
The White Castle: Matcha is an exciting expansion to the base game, designed by Isra C. and Shei S. and published in 2024. In this game, you'll delve into the world of Japanese culture, where the traditional tea ceremony holds a special place. As you navigate the intricate mechanics of Action Drafting, Dice Rolling, and Worker Placement with Dice Workers, you'll need to strategically position your clan members in the Chashitsu, or tea room, to gain influence within the court of Himeji. With the ability to draft cards and utilize multi-use cards, you'll have to make tactical decisions to outmaneuver your opponents. As a 1 to 4 player game, The White Castle: Matcha offers a unique experience, whether you're playing solo or with friends. The normal complexity of the game rules makes it accessible to those familiar with board games, and the 90 to 110 minute playtime allows for a fully immersive experience. With the inclusion of The White Castle: Promo 4 in the first printing, you'll have even more opportunities to explore the world of The White Castle. The addition of 3 new Die tiles, each with Chasen on the back, replaces the original tiles and adds a fresh layer of strategy to the game. As you compete to achieve the greatest level of influence, you'll need to balance your actions carefully, using your additional action each round to gain the upper hand.
