  1. 6.5 out of 10

    ok abstract game with great production! Being observant is also crutial as you lose focus with all those similar shapes.

  2. 6.5 out of 10

    I like the theming (which isn't really outlayed, but makes sense in my head) - you are taking parts off the central castle to build your own. I enjoyed playing the Mah Jong game on the computer, so this gets bonuses for that in my head. Very pretty.

  3. 3 out of 10

    Tried on BGA. Maybe you need to play it in real life with the chunky tiles, but I did not have fun. There was no arc at all, ending was anticlimactic. I won, but did not feel like a satisfying victory. Because you can only pick tiles on the top, options are relative limited and non of them feel like they really matter. This effect is strengthened by the fact that you not really can block your opponent, and neither can they, making every option for picking the blocks equally meaningless.

Be the first to review “Dragon Castle”

Dragon Castle is a game freely inspired by Mahjong Solitaire. During your turn, you take a pair of identical tiles from the central "castle" (known as the Dragon Castle) and place them on your own realm board to build your own castle. From time to time, you may sacrifice these tiles to acquire shrines in their place.

Every time you create a set of tiles of the same kind, you "consolidate" them, i.e. flip them face down to score points. When you consolidate a set, you may also build shrines on top of the consolidated tiles: Shrines allow you to score more points, but they also limit your building options. You may also take advantage of the available spirit card and its game-changing powers…but this will come at a cost! Finally, don’t forget to check the dragon card in play, and to follow the building requirements to score bonus points.

When the Dragon Castle has been reduced to only one floor, the end of the game is triggered. After one final round, the player with the most points is the lord of the new Dragon Castle…and the winner of the game!
