Castle

Bruno Faidutti revisits the medieval setting of Ohne Furcht und Adel with the card game Castle. Players are given a set of square cards which are to be played onto the table, which has a cardboard castle battlement layout. Cards are played into one of four regions: in the courtyard, on the battlements, on the towers, or outside the castle. And when played, the cards will usually allow you to take some sort of special action, which is unique to the card you played. The first player to rid himself of all his cards wins, which can be a tricky proposition at best.

Para fans del UNO con algo más de chicha (tiene cierto regusto a JCC por sus efectos rebote, sus combos y el análisis de cartas). Los jugadores tratan de desprenderse de sus cartas jugándolas en el "tablero/castillo" pero no hay sitio para todos. Cada carta es un personaje con sus "poderes especiales". Con 2 jugadores es muy táctico, con 3 es más divertido... pero con 4 o más, prefiero Ciudadelas. Me gusta la dinámica de jugar cartas que pudieran hacerte un destrozo a ti mismo y la mecánica de los soldados vs. catapultas. PROS: rápido y facil de jugar y montar. CONS: kingmaking casi siempre al

No me ha convencido. Al final de la partida, lo normal es que se alargue hasta casi el infinito...
