The Castles of Burgundy

勃艮第城堡

Roll two dice a turn, one to take a tile and one to lay it, and fill in your estate piece by piece.

The goal

Have the most points after 25 rounds. Most of them come from filling the coloured regions of your estate.

1The game has 5 phases of 5 rounds each. Every round all players roll their own two dice, then take turns using them, one action per die.
2There are four actions: take a tile from the depot matching the die into your storage; move a tile from storage onto an estate space with that number and colour, next to a tile already there; sell the stack of goods matching the die; or, with any die, take 2 workers.
3Hand back a worker to change a die by 1 up or down. 1 and 6 wrap around to each other.
4Once per turn you may also spend 2 silver to buy a tile from the black depot in the middle.
5Each tile does something when placed: buildings have their own effects, ships bring goods and move you up the turn order, animals score by how many of that kind you have, mines pay 1 silver at the end of each phase, and castles give you a free extra action.
6Filling a region of one colour scores: bigger regions score more, and finishing early pays a bonus, from 10 points in the first phase down to 2 in the last.

The game ends after the fifth phase. Unsold goods, leftover silver and workers add a few points, and the highest total wins.
