We are in central France in the fifteenth century. As influential princes, players are putting all their efforts into growing their estates through wise trade and thoughtful choices. Two dice indicate the action possibilities, but the decisions are ultimately made by the players themselves. And whether it is livestock farming, commodity trading,town building or scientific progress, many different paths lead to prosperity and prestige for the players! The numerous opportunities to gain points in this game demand a well thought-out approach and foresight round after round. Thanks to the different principalities, the challenge for players in "The Castles of Burgundy" remains constant and no game will go the same way. Winner is the player who possesses the most victory points at the end.
