## Description

In the tile-laying game Castles of Mad King Ludwig, players are tasked with building an amazing, extravagant castle for King Ludwig II of Bavaria.one room at a time. You see, the King loves castles, having built Neuschwanstein (the castle that inspired the Disney theme park castles) and others, but now he's commissioned you to build the biggest, best castle ever - subject, of course, to his ever-changing whims. Each player acts as a building contractor who is adding rooms to the castle he's building while also selling his services to other players.

Review: “Mad King Ludwig” - (This) New Edition is worth it! - This is not a cheap game, but the new edition is well-made and has very good artwork. It’s funny – it’s fun to just play the game, but there is quite a bit of strategy to it, and you aren’t going to win by just having fun. It’s not too hard to pick up, though, and not too long of a game to play. Also, you feel like you are getting a lot for what you buy, because the box is so big!
Review: A rival to Carcassonne! - I bought this game despite having promised myself that I wouldn't buy any new games for a while - but my wife had seen it online and expressed an interest in it. We love playing Carcassonne, and the idea of playing a tile-based building game which also involved building a castle was too much for her to resist! So I bought it. As with most games, it took a little time to understand the rules, but once we got the hang of it, which was really pretty quick, we found this to be very enjoyable. Others have described the gameplay so I won't go into that here. I'll just add a few thoughts of my own. 1. Whoever said they think it'll be a Spiel des Jahres contender is spot on. This fulfills a criterion I have for a great game, which is that it is elegant, by which I mean that the gameplay is self-evident and makes sense within itself. There are no rules which seem out of place, it all fits together logically and simply. 2. It has high replay value; we've already played it multiple times and I think it will easily become as popular with us as Carcassonne. 3. It works well with kids: our 13 year old daughter and 12 year old son enjoy it, and when my wife and I played by ourselves, the kids wanted to see the pictures of the castles we made so they could enjoy the layout and talk about it. 4. It works well for 2, 3 or 4 players. Some games are much better with certain numbers of players, but so far we have found no difference in enjoyability. There are differences in dynamics, but not in the fun. My wife also played by herself, by the way (and my son used all the pieces to make one mega-castle, just for the fun of it!), and had fun with it that way too. 5. So far, one change we make to the rules: add in more room cards. For example, with 2 players you're supposed to use 22 cards - we used 34 cards last time and it worked excellently. The game didn't seem overlong at all (I didn't time it, but it seemed to fly by!) and the castles were much more impressive! With 4 players, use all the cards. 6. Make up a story about your castles! Last time, mine was the 'party castle' (lots of entertaining rooms, gardens, and a nice pumpkin patch off the royal bedroom!), my wife's was the introvert's castle (all private rooms and dungeons, and oddly enough, a vestibule at the far end of the underground rooms, a sort of doctor's waiting room for the torture chamber perhaps?). 7. I can see a lot of potential for expansions for this game. I'll be keeping an eye out...
