Burgenland (2014)

About this game

Two to four players compete for the limited building places for their castles. The players have to build wells, houses and palaces. By collecting cards cleverly the players can claim the most profitable building places and are rewarded with big bonuses. The player who first manages to erect all buildings wins the game. Not to be confused with Burgen Land from Schmidt Spiele.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• Rules load. At 2.2/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 8 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
