Board 7 - Another board that needs the knowledge tile that lets you place the same building in one area. It’s alright.

Tile 1- The tile the allows you to ignore the rule that only one of each type of building is allowed in each area. This might be by favorite of the tech tiles. It is a MUST if you have a huge building area to fill in. Board 2 and 7 especially. With those boards you should make sure you are start player until that finally pops up. It fills in those huge areas way easier plus you can totally spam multiple knowledge tiles that give you points for the brown buildings types. That’s one of the ways you can get the super high scores of 270+, where all of your brown buildings score you 4 points. There are eight different types of buildings in the game. Each type of building can only occur once in a beige area. The buildings each have a single use, different advantage which the player can immediately use when the building is placed. These are: When a player adds a bank to his estate, he immediately takes 2 Silverlings from the general supply and adds them to his own.Yellow ( Knowledge ) Tiles - There are two types of knowledge tiles, end game point ones and technologies(non end game points, but help you with the game). The tech tiles you should get in round 1 or round 2. Past that, they are not really worth it. They might save you some workers along the way, but there are better moves to make. But if you get them early enough they will save you enough to be worth it. Take the 5 goods tiles for the current phase and place them, face-up, onto the five square round spaces below the phase spaces. The five game rounds

Worker Tiles - Try and gain worker tiles from the boarding house building that way you aren't wasting an action to get 2 tiles. With those you get to place a building and get 4 tiles. So scoop those up if you can. Also the knowledge tile that gives you 4 workers when you turn in for worker's isn't bad. Most say try and not to spend workers too much but sometimes you have to get the stuff you want and sometimes it is worth it. Note: Rolling simultaneously allows those players whose turns come later to start planning their turns ahead of time. Mine (grey): These tiles are (with the exception of a few of the yellow tiles) the only ones without an immediate effect when they are placed (which can occur up to 3 times).There’s a lot of game in the box. The expansions really are mini-expansions that only change small things in the core game, but they do add new hexes and mechanics. There are also so many double-sided player boards in the box that it’s impossible to create a strategy that would cover all of them. I’ve owned the original since it was released, and I still play it, and I still enjoy every game, regardless of it being two, three or four players. Speaking of player count…

The supply of worker tiles and Silverlings is not intended to be limited. In the rare case that the supply is exhausted, please substitute other materials. Instead, at the end of each phase, the player receives 1 Silverling from the supply for each mine in his estate. Have the games that have come since improved and refined the core mechanics and made something similar, but better? Should I still buy this game in 2021? Yes. Yes you shouldShuffle the 42 goods tiles (square tiles) face down. Then separate them into 5 face-down piles, each made up of 5 tiles. Place one pile onto each of the 5 phase spaces lettered A through E on the game board. The remaining 17 tiles remain in a face-down supply for now. One random board per player: each player is given a single random duchy / estate among available ones. Two players can have the same duchy / estate. Additionally, the region - depending on the phase - scores between 10 and 2 victory points: The empty phase space (A-E, in the upper right of the game board) for the current phase indicates how many additional victory points each completed region (regardless of its size!) is worth: between 10 in the first phase A and 2 in the last phase E. Castles of Burgundy is, or should be, a modern classic. Although somewhat ugly, and with average components, the gameplay is rich and full of decisions and meat to go with that point salad.

The second player to finish covering up this same colour takes the small bonus tile and the corresponding 2 to 4 victory points. Third and fourth place receive nothing. My gameplay overview will be brief, if you’ve never played Castles of Burgundy, you should, it’s one of the classics. You roll two dice and use these dice for various actions. Your goal is to build your Duchy using different tiles. Your Duchy is a map filled with hexes that you can build various buildings on. You can use your dice to buy buildings from the shared pool, use them to place tiles on your board. You can even use them to sell goods you acquire or buy workers that enable you to alter your dice rolls and help you fill your Duchy even further. Carpenter’s Workshop - the player may take a beige building tile from any numbered depot and add it to their supply; random goods tiles from the remaining 17 tiles, to be placed face up onto the three goods storage spaces in the upper left hand corner of his board: tiles of the same goods type (= colour) are stored together, different types are stored separately (any remaining goods tiles are not used in the game and are returned to the box). Note: A player must always sell all tiles of a type when choosing the Sell Goods action, even if he would like to keep some in reserve. Action Take worker tiles

About This Game

Note: the implementation on BGA doesn't allow to buy a tile at any moment, because it would not be useful. You can do it only when you just placed a castle or a city hall.

The second player to fill all of that color receives the small bonus tile.
