Description
In Palaces, you'll compete against 2 to 4 other players to build the most impressive towers, with a twist. This deck-building bidding game, designed by Jeff Siadek and published in 2018, is set in the Renaissance era and features simple rules that can be learned quickly. On each turn, players bid on cards using a unique system based on the size and suit of their bids, with the highest bidder getting to activate the card's special effect and add a room to one of their towers. The goal is to build two towers that match each other, with the winner being the player with the tallest lower tower. With a playtime of just 45 minutes, Palaces is a fast-paced and engaging game that's perfect for a fun evening with friends. The combination of auction, deck, and pool building mechanics, along with hand management and card drafting, makes for a thrilling experience that will keep you coming back for more.
