As you flip, you have the opportunity to build one of your shrine pieces on them, and the higher these shrines are built, the more points they will be worth at game end.Īnd lo! You have a simple and perfectly pleasant construction puzzle. Sets of matching colours will flip when you have 4 or more adjacent, scoring you points depending on how many flipped, and from then on letting you place new tiles on top of these flipped ones. Tiles you take from the castle go to your player board where you are building your own structures. I assume they had to assemble all the sets by hand from a giant tile castle.īut taking pairs of tiles is kind of where the Mahjong comparison ends and the Euro game begins. It sure has taken a long time to reach the English speaking world. Which is perhaps why I don’t give a damn about your chess variant, but I’ve been very excited to try Dragon Castle since its initial release at Essen last year. Honestly, I know very little about Mahjong and it’s variants. You may take an exact matching pair of tiles, but only if their long edges are exposed.

The Dragon Castle that sits in the centre is constructed from Mahjong-like tiles, and players obtain tiles in a similar way to that classic game. That old Eastern tile game that a great many of us Westerners will know from computer game adaptations.

This is literally a game about destroying historical monuments.ĭesigner: Hjalmar Hach, Luca Ricci, Lorenzo Silvaĭragon Castle has a terrific table presence and a very simple hook: it’s basically Mahjong. Brick by aged brick, it falls, ferreted away to form the basis of new castles. For an empty castle never stays empty for long. Once filled with roars and fire, now it is left to mice and whispers.
