What Makes Castles board game Stand Out
Castles Board Game is a tile-based board game for two to four players.
In the game, players build a map by placing castle, road or church tiles. Points are scored by placing 'peasants' on the tiles. The player with the highest score at the end wins.
You can play this game against real people (pass and play or online) or against a 'computer' player. The game is automatically saved when you close the app, so it is easy to resume when you open the app the next time.
Features:
- Local Multiplayer
- Computer players

Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
We play this game all throughout the day. Its a quick, fun break. We have to think and plan a little, but theres no stress. The graphics are like we were used to from the original physical game. We like that. Feels simple, wholesome and fun. We wish there was an analysis of the final scores ( how many road points va cities and farms.) Otherwise, it is perfect and we never have experienced any glitches.
Glad we found this little gem. We prefer portrait mode, and other similar Carcassonne-type games are only in landscape. This plays both ways. Its fast, smooth, easy. No ads, no IAP (other than for an additional hard mode if you want it). Im not good at the game yet but we enjoy it. We appreciate developers like this who monetize fairly and design good games that also dont take a bunch of space on your phone. Thank you.
We like this game. Its very similar to carcassonne. Love playing it.
We absolutely love this game! Works with multiplayer or against the computer. Also got the Hard Computer player in-app purchase. Thats definitely worth it. Medium was too easy for us.
