The Castles of Burgundy

The Castles of Burgundy — one of the great strategy games, where every turn is a satisfying little puzzle of figuring out how to best use your dice.

Roll your dice, then spend them to take tiles from the market or place them in your estate — but your dice values determine what you can do, so every turn demands clever thinking about how to squeeze the most value out of what you’ve rolled. Build your Burgundian estate across multiple tile types, chain scoring bonuses, and slowly optimise a beautifully interlocking engine. One of my favourite strategy games and a genuine all-time classic.

The tile interactions build into something satisfying and the replayability is exceptional. A must-play for anyone who enjoys strategy games.
