The Castles of Tuscany
45m - 60m
2 - 4 Players
Ages 10+
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.
Modular Board
The primary goal of a set collection mechanic is to encourage a player to collect a set of items.
Set Collection
Tile Placement games feature placing a piece to score VPs, with the amount often based on adjacent pieces or pieces in the same group/cluster, and keying off non-spatial properties like color, "feature completion", cluster size etc.

Feld? Feld. Get lots of little points throughout the game. Fill in areas to get points, but no dice drafting. Just... drawing cards ticket to ride style. It's fine/good; I'll be happy to occasionally play it but don't need it in my life.

Finally played Castles of Tuscany by @ravensburgerglobal — I had high hopes for this game, being a big fan of Feld’s works, and also of its predecessor, Castles of Burgundy, but, also a little bit hesitant because of the mixed reviews. I’m glad I was able to experience it though, as it was actually really fun, and turns really quick, with our game lasting 1h23 at 3p, with me taking the win at 70-62-59. ? — Now, we really enjoyed the game, and if not in comparison to Castles of Burgundy, I would say the game is really good. However, looking back, I’m realizing that this game is basically a watered down and streamlined version of its predecessor. Despite the game being good, I wouldn’t say you’d need to get a copy and own both games, except only if you’re trying to complete a Publisher/Author collection. — I love the tile laying mechanism present in both Burgundy and Tuscany, where different buildings give out various benefits. However, where dice are used to do core actions in the former, cards are used in this one. — Overall, we enjoyed the game a lot, but, personally, I’d rather play Castles of Burgundy anytime. Castles of Tuscany is a great alternative if you’re a little bit short on time though, or if you haven’t played the original yet. ⭐️⭐️7/10⭐️⭐️

It's a nice little game, but somewhat of an awkward fit for me: perhaps too long for a filler but too light for me to elevate to the level of Feld's other designs. The level of randomness is high, probably more than his other games, but turns are always satisfying, and the game flies by very quickly. I like how, as in Burgundy, you can still set up little "combos" with certain colors and power up your base actions (red for upgrades, orange/blue for wild cards/tiles, gray for extra turns, etc.). A good game, even though I wish it were a little heavier, and perhaps a little longer.
