Build a sprawling castle where every room's price is a power play
Vibe's take
Spatial, strategic, whimsical, interactive
Who it's for
Players who enjoy spatial puzzles and indirect economic competition. Best at 3-4 where the master builder pricing creates real tension.
Not for you if…
Not for players who want direct conflict or dislike spatial optimization.
About this game
