The White Castle

The heron flies over the Himeji sky while the Daimyo, from the top of the castle, watches his servants' moves. Gardeners tend the pond, where the koi carp live, warriors stand guard on the walls, and courtiers crowd the gates, pining for an audience that brings them closer to the innermost circles of the court. When night falls, the lanterns are lit and the workers return to their clan.

In The White Castle, players will control one of these clans in order to score more victory points than the rest. To do so, they must amass influence in the court, manage resources boldly, and place their workers in the right place at the right time. 

The White Castle is a game of resource management, worker placement, and dice placement. Over three rounds, players will send members of their clan to tend the gardens, defend the castle, or progress up the social ladder of the nobility. At the end of the match, these decisions will award players victory points in a variety of ways.

With accessible rules and a very careful setting, The White Castle is a very versatile title that will fit in with different gaming groups. The sleek and simple design belies a great deal of strategic depth within the grasp of the players.
