Walls of York


30m

2 - 4 Players

Ages 10+

Dice rolling in a game can be used for many things, randomness being the most obvious. Dice can also be used as counters. The dice themselves can be unique and different sizes, shapes and colors to represent different things.
Dice Rolling
Play occurs upon a modular board that is composed of multiple pieces, often tiles or cards. In many games, board placement is randomized, leading to different possibilities for strategy and exploration.Some games in this category have multiple boards which are not used simultaneously, preserving table space. Unused boards remain out of play until they are required.

    A kind of roll and write style game, trying to enclose a given set of items in the most efficient way

    You look at your board in relation to the kings requirements and then you identify the most efficient way to enclose them in a looped wall. Over the course of the game you build your wall based upon the random pieces available to you and the other players each round. Or, in a two player game, you put your feet up and mirror what the other player does. The game basically takes what happens on a single players turn in String Safari and stretches it out over a very boring 30 minutes of random tosh. String Safari doesn't have the mirror problem, the scoring choices are more varied, its less random, it looks better, it doesn't use an abundance of plastic and it is more fun. If this game appeals to anyone then I would advise them to look at String Safari and buy that game instead. Should they have a particular penchant for building plastic walls Castellan is a much better alternative for two players, even though it is by no means a great game itself. Personally, I would leave all three of the aforementioned games on the shop shelf and buy something else instead. Played it, regretted the wasted time, definitely didn't buy it - but BGG won't let me comment without adding it to my collection :(

The city of York is being built. Many buildings have already been completed, but without a protective outer wall to defend against the Viking raids, the city is bound to be pillaged and destroyed. The king has summoned his best architects to design new defensive walls for the city, but only one design will be used. That architect will be hailed as the greatest architect in all the land.

In Walls of York, players must use the plastic wall pieces to construct a defensive barrier around the buildings on their city map. Each turn, a player rolls the building die, that dictates which types of walls are to be used. The players must enclose their city, including the required buildings from the King’s decree — but players must beware for the Vikings will come and lay waste at the end of the first age, forcing players to build their walls anew in the second age. The player with the most coins at the end of the second age wins.
