(GAME SUMMARY)

Drake says: "In Caylus, players compete as master builders. As players build the King’s castle and develop the city around it, they gain the King’s favor and earn prestige points and gain the King’s favor. When the castle is completed, the player the most prestige wins."






(TIPS/COMMENTS)

John says: "Caylus is a deep strategy game with many paths to victory. The kings/castle theme is excellent with top-notch components and game board. The rule book is a little scary, and long, but the rewards are great! Additionally, your first game of this will last a few hours, as players will need to get acquainted with the mechanics. In fact, you may spend the entire first game getting used to the game, leaving strategy for future games. This is a meaty game with very little luck. Caylus works with any number of players from 2 to 5. If you've played this, you can handle most games!"


Designer:

William Attia

Description:

1289. To strengthen the borders of the Kingdom of France, King Philip the Fair decided to have a new castle built. For the time being, Caylus is but a humble village, but soon, workers and craftsmen will be flocking by the cartload, attracted by the great prospects. Around the building site, a city is slowly rising up…

The players embody master builders. By building the King’s castle and developing the city around it, they earn prestige points and gain the King’s favor. When the castle is finished, the player who has earned the most prestige wins the game.
