The heron soars above Himeji Castle as the Daimyo observes his servants from the fortress’s peak. Gardeners care for the koi-filled pond, warriors guard the walls, and courtiers gather at the gates, eager for an audience that brings them closer to power. When night falls, lanterns illuminate the castle and workers return to their clans. In The White Castle, players lead these clans to earn the most victory points by gaining court influence, managing resources wisely, and placing workers strategically. Designed by Sheila Santos and Israel Cendrero, this Euro-style game blends resource management, worker and dice placement mechanics for a rich, strategic experience. Over three rounds, send clan members to tend gardens, defend the castle, or climb the social ranks. The beautifully illustrated central board highlights key areas: the grand Room of the Thousand Carpets where courtiers vie for favor, tranquil gardens, patrolling walls, and the three bridges where dice actions are decided. Each player’s personal domain tracks resources and workers, offering multiple paths to victory. With easy-to-learn rules and deep strategy, The White Castle suits a variety of gaming groups, delivering an elegant yet engaging gameplay experience.
