The Castles of Burgundy
The game is set in the Burgundy region of High Medieval France. Each player takes on the role of an aristocrat, originally controlling a small princedom. While playing they aim to build settlements and powerful castles, practice trade along the river, exploit silver mines, and use the knowledge of travelers. The game is about players taking settlement tiles from the game board and placing them into their princedom which is represented by the player board. Every tile has a function that starts when the tile is placed in the princedom. The princedom itself consists of several regions, each of which demands its own type of settlement tile.

What the community says about The Castles of Burgundy
Juego buenardo, feo de cojones y un coñazo de separar las losetitas hexagonales del demonio a menos que tengas un pedazo inserto.
Obligatorio tenerlo en todas las ludotecas.
Magnífico. Uno de esos juegos que pasa la prueba del tiempo. Un clásico que se mantiene en el top año tras año.
+ 2nd Expansion + Trade Routes P&P

Clasicazo!
Es un euro bastante abatracto. Supuestamente se trata de conseguir crear rutas comerciales.. aunque el tema es bastante accesorio. Eso sí, es un autentico quema cerebros. Muy recomendable. --------------------------------- Al principio no me pareció gran cosa, pero una vez que le pillas, es un vicio. Dados, combos y rellenar areas de un mapa personal que tiene cada jugador. Tiene factor suerte, pero te puedes blindar contra ella escogiendo las acciones adecadas. En cada turno haces puntos por todo. Se acaba en la orquilla de 140-2oo puntos. Nuy recomendable. ----------------------------------
Juegazo. Nada mas que decir.
