Forum Overview :: Overboard! :: The Castles of Burgundy

[quote name="Mischief Maker"]I was looking for the best dice game, this is what everyone recommended. Okay, yeah. It's worth the hype. <IMG SRC="https://external-content.duckduckgo.com/iu/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.justpushstart.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2021%2F05%2FThe-Castles-of-Burgundy.jpg&f=1&nofb=1&ipt=244862646a98a83f37aa3b193bf36f2b84de2cef2e16fd1855780887eb584215" WIDTH="1280"> I just got the $50 anniversary edition with the keys on the cover, not the $400+ special edition. You're a French lord building up their duchy by drafting hex tiles from a common pool, but the exact moves you're able to make are determined by the roll of two six-sided dice, and everybody else knows what your dice are, so things can get really backstabby really quick. I can see how the strategic possibilities can have people playing this game for decades, and yet it's remarkably accessible. If you're more excited about gameplay than theme, this is an easy recommend.[/quote]
