What is The White Castle: Matcha

The tea ceremony lies at the heart of Japanese culture, giving life the most essential and elemental concepts of hospitality, respect, and Zen philosophy. There, they believe that tea, which came from China in the 13th century, resolved the health problems of the Buddhist monks who drank it. Over the years, the tea ceremony evolved to offer the samurai a place of calm, far from the chaos of the battlefield.

In The White Castle: Matcha, you will have to deal with a new place in which to influence the court using new members of your clan. Having members of your clan in good seats within the Chashitsu (tea room) will help you achieve a greater level of influence within the court of Himeji. Also, you will have one additional action each round. Will that be enough?

The first printing includes The White Castle: Promo 4 packaged inside the expansion box. It is currently not available by itself.

To be played with the base game and the Matcha expansion.

Buena expansión a pesar de que no aporta una mecánica nueva. Todo lo contrario: te añade 3 turnos más al juego pero también más cosas que hacer para puntuar así que no te dan más cancha, sino que literalmente expande el juego.

Without this expansion I found it difficult to enjoy the base game. The added extra turns together with the new actions make for a much more complete game than before. A must have.

Expansión no necesaria ya que el juego funciona de maravilla sin ella. No obstante, si disfrutas de TWC, de sus combos y quisieras alargar la experiencia se transforma en una expansión necesaria. Esta nueva expansión te aporta más combos, 3 turnos extras y muchas posibilidades más. Me encanta. Muy satisfactorio y no complica el juego, simplemente añade un puente más y nuevas localizaciones donde buscar tus combos. Positivo: - Más combos - Más dados - Más turnos - Más posibilidades Negativo: - Nada. Solitario: Como un reloj. Sigue siendo dificil de ganar pero se disfruta igual.
