Always a good time. Being the Master Builder is a bit tricky sometimes but it's much better than having to bid for things like in some games. It can be a bit long with a full player count.

2 plays / 4 players LIKE: Building castles. Being the master builder and selecting how the different rooms are priced. DISLIKE: Iconography overload, and some icons are hard to discern. Game felt too long. OVERALL: First game, we were all learning so perhaps that is why the game felt long, but some players were calculating min/max point scoring with certain combos which slows down any game. It should be an hour tops, but ended up 2.5h. Second game was quicker. It's an ok game.

Fun tile-laying game -- first one I have tried. Only playing solitaire for now and am using a variant posted on the geek. Fair amount of strategy. It's cool to see the castle you create develop and expand.
