Carcassonne: The Castle is a two-player German board game. It is designed by Reiner Knizia, although Carcassonne series creator Klaus-Jürgen Wrede is also credited. Like other games in the Carcassonne series, it is published by Hans im Gluck in German and Rio Grande Games in English.
Unlike other games in the series, The Castle is solely designed for head-to-head play. Although the main game mechanic of tile placement is retained, players are also additionally confined by the fixed board layout. The Castle is focused on the interior of a castle that is said to be situated in the middle of Carcassonne, a medieval walled city in France.
Famous quotes containing the word castle:
“This castle hath a pleasant seat; the air
Nimbly and sweetly recommends itself
Unto our gentle senses.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
