This mechanic requires you to place a bid, usually monetary, on items in an auction of goods in order to enhance your position in the game. These goods allow players future actions or improve a position. The auction consists of taking turns placing bids on a given item until one winner is established, allowing the winner to take control of the item being bid on. Usually there is a game rule that helps drop the price of the items being bid on if no players are interested in the item at its current price.
Auction/Bidding
Betting/Wagering games are games that encourage or require players to bet money (real or in-game) on certain outcomes within the game.
Betting/Wagering
Card drafting games are games in which players pick cards from a limited subset, such as a common pool, to gain some advantage (immediate or longterm) or to assemble hands of cards that are used to meet objectives within the game.
Card Drafting
Pattern Building is a system where players place game components in specific patterns in order to gain specific or variable game results. For example: placing chips on 2, 4, 6, 8 on a board gets the player an action card they can use later in the game.

The primary goal of a set collection mechanic is to encourage a player to collect a set of items.

Board Game Geek Reviews


  1. 8 out of 10

    I really like the swan tokens, adds some new interesting strategies. The boarder tiles are great fun! The secret passages have fallen flat, as I rarely can find a good way to incorporate.

  2. 4 out of 10

    Best part are all the new rooms to use as you please. Second best part of the secret passages. The moats and swans don't really excite me. Oddly enough I thought I would really like the Moats, but don't, and wouldn't like the swans at all, but somewhat do.

  3. 5 out of 10

    Initial Impressions: ---------------------- Module 1 (The Moats): Didn't like them. Reducing the creativity of building a castle, and speeds up the game? Not what I was hoping for. Model 2 (Secret Passages): Not necessary, but somewhat interesting. Would of been a cool promo pack type expansion, but it was cool that it was included in the expansion. Model 3 (Swans): Garbage. 1st off, this reduces the replay-ability of the game since you have to use all the swan tiles... which is terrible. Also, the decision making process on what to price things was already fine, it didn't need another layer for adding a set collection element. I didn't like this module at all, and not sure I would want to play with it again.

What secrets are lurking in the shadows of King Ludwig’s castle? Dozens of hidden swans are scattered throughout thirty new rooms in Castles of Mad King Ludwig: Secrets. Ludwig is particularly fond of these swans, which provide both much-needed cash at any time or can be collected for big bonuses at the end of the game. Surrounding and protecting your castle are new moats, making every room inside it even more valuable. The King has come up with more favors, including one for creating courtyards. Finally, secret passages enhance connections and muffle sound from activity rooms.
