Description
In Castles of Mad King Ludwig, you're tasked with building an extravagant castle for the King, one room at a time. As a building contractor, you'll add rooms to your castle while selling your services to other players. The game starts with a simple foyer, and each player takes turns as the Master Builder, setting prices for a set of rooms that can be purchased by other players. As you build your castle, you'll gain points based on the size and type of rooms constructed, as well as bonus points for completing rooms and achieving the King's demands. With multiple paths to victory and ever-changing goals, the game requires strategic thinking and adaptability. With its unique blend of tile placement, set collection, and pattern building, Castles of Mad King Ludwig offers a fun and challenging experience for 1 to 4 players, lasting around 90 minutes.
