   What is better than a great game? A great game with thoughtful storage! Bezier games designed the box to hold not only the base game but all the expansions. Of course, that encouraged me to buy the expansions, but I would have anyway when I saw a play through with one of the expansions! The Gametrayz inserts are phenomenal, both for safe storage of the hundreds of pieces, but also easy to set up to play. The value is fantastic! The quality is very good. I was able to learn how to play the game without having to deal with the set up had the pieces been in a jumble. Such a fun game and because it is easy to get to the table, it will be played a ton!

   Review of the game: I’ve had a lot of fun playing Castles, outside of scoring it’s fun to see who’s Castle makes the most sense logically, or the exact opposite. You never know what tiles are going to come up so you get lots of variety and some funny (or awesome) castles. As a board game this is definitely something my group plays over and over for some light hearted fun. If you enjoy a game that isn’t strictly about your skill as a player and enjoy a game that has luck involved then I definitely recommend it.

   Review of the physical product: 99% of the product was perfect, unfortunately one of the cardboard tokens (or whatever it’s made out of) was physically deformed (not due to pushing it out wrong) which makes it difficult to use since everyone knows what it is. Specifically one of the Kings Favor tiles was somehow very deformed (shape) so everyone knows when that specific favor is being drawn before even seeing it… we ended up taking it out of rotation entirely 🙁

   This game is phenomenal. I purchased this after playing a friend’s copy multiple times; we probably played the game twenty times before purchasing it ourselves. It gets better every time, and the game is never the same! I love a board game that is versatile and changes each time you play. If you are on the fence about buying this game, I personally would recommend you purchase it. The rules are complicated at first but once you get the hang of it you will love it!

   Super fun game, easy to learn. Lots of pieces for the price.

   My only complaint is the storage is quite inadequate and required me to make my own so that the pieces don’t go flying everywhere. It is practically a requirement to buy an organizer or make your own or else you will have quite long setup times.

   This game is awesome!!! (Once you understand it haha) the instructions aren’t poorly written…kind of hard to figure out at first but if you just go over them and then jump into playing, learning as you go is best. Lots of brain power used in this game but it’s really fun! Cool artwork, pieces feel nice and durable. Took us about 3.5 hours tonight (first time playing). Probably about an hour reading instructions and setting up and it went much faster as we got into it. Really fun, would recommend!! It’s almost a mix of monopoly, ticket to ride, dc deck building, x-wing, and many others haha lots going on! Super fun!
