The White Castle

The White Castle

The heron flies over the sky of Himeji while the Daimyo, from the top of the castle, watches his servants move. Gardeners take care of the pond, where the koi carp live, warriors stand guard on the walls and courtiers crowd at the doors, longing for an audience that will bring them closer to the most intimate circles of the court. When it gets dark the lanterns are lit and the workers return to their clan.

In The White Castle, players will control one of these clans with the goal of scoring more victory points than the rest. To do so, they must accumulate influence in the court, manage resources boldly, and place their workers in the right place at the right time. The game can be enjoyed alone or in a group of up to 4 players.

The authors are Sheila Santos and Israel Cendrero, the duo known as Llama Dice who also designed the successful The Red Cathedral and its expansion, Contractors, with Devir. In this case, we leave behind the Moscow of Ivan the Terrible to explore the most imposing fortress in modern Japan, Himeji Castle, where the banner of the Sakai clan flies under the orders of the Daimyo Sakai Tadakiyo.

The White Castle is a Euro-type game with mechanics of resource management, worker placement, and dice placement to carry out actions. During the game, over three rounds, players will send members of their clan to take care of the gardens, defend the castle or progress up the social ladder of nobility. At the end of the game, these will award players victory points in a variety of ways.
