Master builders compete to develop a medieval village and help construct the king’s castle to earn the most prestige.

Gameplay

To score the most points, you pay to place workers on village buildings to gain resources, construct new buildings, and contribute to the castle for rewards. The tension is tight action spaces and rivals manipulating which parts of the town actually operate each round.
