Between Two Castles: Essential Edition
Work with the players on either side to draft and place room tiles into two castles. Each turn, select two tiles from your hand, reveal them, and collaborate with both partners to add them to the castles. Score each castle at the end of the game; your final score is the lower of the two scores, so both designs require attention. Includes the base game, Secrets & Soirees expansion, and bonus promo tiles and cards.
