Who it's for

Groups who like medium-weight euros with simultaneous selection and a single big scoring at the end. Best at four.

Not for you if…

You want feedback during the game or dislike a scoring system that stays hidden until the last minute. The theme is quite pasted on.

Vibe's take

A steady game of second-guessing, where the right card at the wrong moment is worth very little.

About this game

Everyone is a master builder on the same castle site, and every round you pick one character card in secret. All cards flip at once and resolve in a fixed order, so the fisherman acting before the merchant matters as much as which card you chose. One character lets you take your played cards back, which is the engine that keeps the whole thing running.
