The Castles of Burgundy Special Edition (EN)

Welcome to medieval Burgundy, a land of ambitious duchies and quiet rivalries. The Castles of Burgundy Special Edition reinvents this cult classic tile placement game in a lavish new form, born from a collaboration between Ravensburger and the Awaken Realms studio. Each player takes on the role of a noble growing their estate, gathering hexagonal tiles depicting villages, silver mines, trade ships, monasteries and castles turn after turn, then placing them with precision on their personal board to build the most efficient and profitable duchy. Dice rolls determine which tiles are available, but careful planning and foresight are what separate great strategists from the rest. This deluxe edition pushes the experience even further: double-layered boards, tiles enlarged by 30 percent, metal silver coins, dedicated storage bags and an entirely new visual design turn a game of The Castles of Burgundy into a genuine collector's piece. It ships with every expansion released since the game's launch, plus a brand-new Vineyards expansion, for dozens of hours of replayability.

You will likely love The Castles of Burgundy Special Edition if you crave demanding management games where every tile matters and each decision deserves careful thought. It is the perfect pick for fans of strategy games who want an experience just as rich solo as with four players, and who appreciate premium components that make every session even more satisfying to handle.

This is not a simple reprint: The Castles of Burgundy Special Edition gathers all ten expansions released over the years for the original game into a single box, plus a brand-new Vineyards expansion created specifically for this edition. Many enthusiasts consider the result the definitive version of this modern classic, both for its strategic depth and its production quality.

The game is designed by Stefan Feld, known for demanding management games and also behind fan favorites like Bora Bora and Trajan. True to his signature style, he offers multiple paths to victory here, rewarding players who can balance several scoring strategies at once.
