What is the game about?

The kingdom is abuzz with rivalry: every baron wants their castle to be the tallest, most ornate, and most imposing. Tower after tower rises from the foundation, windows and roof tiles adorn the walls, and the baron proudly strolls along the path in search of gold coins. But building isn't straightforward: each new tile must be the sum of the two tiles below it. The higher you build, the further your baron jumps, but also the harder the puzzle becomes. And every coin you collect gives you a powerful one-time advantage that can turn the game around.

How do you play the game?

On your turn, you draw two tiles into your tile holder, OR you build one tile onto your castle from your hand or the shared market. Each tile placed must be numerically equal to the sum of the two tiles below it, although you can adjust that sum by one for a fee. Depending on the position and type of tile, your baron moves a number of steps along the common path; if you land on an opponent, you jump past them for free. Bonus spaces provide tiles, actions, or coins, and each coin has an immediate one-time effect. The first player with seven coins wins.

This is the ideal game for...

You can play this game with 2 to 4 players, from 6 years old. The duration is approximately 45 to 60 minutes. The language of the game is Dutch, but you can play the game completely language independent.

How is the game experienced?

Kasteel in de Steigers combines a clever arithmetic puzzle mechanism – each tile must be the sum of the tiles below it – with an accessible and visually appealing castle-building theme. Reviewers praise the tactical depth hidden behind the simple rules, and the tension that arises when you have to choose tiles that both you and your opponents need. Naomi Fryxelius's illustrations give the game a charming medieval character.
