Once Upon a Castle
Players use available resources to sketch and expand a castle, adding battlements, towers, rooms and other features to attract visitors. Each turn involves gathering materials and placing architectural elements on a personal castle drawing to increase prestige. Scoring evaluates the castle’s appearance, completed features and resource use; players plan and optimize placements to create the most esteemed stronghold by the end of the game.
