The White Castle: Duel (Spanish)

In the 16th century, Japan began trading with the West after the arrival of Portuguese merchants and Jesuit missionaries. Himeji Castle, a symbol of feudal power, was a strategic enclave where exotic goods arrived, soon altering the balance of power among the daimyo. In The White Castle: Duel, two clans compete for influence over the White Heron Court. Whoever scores the most points at the end of the game wins!

Created by Sheila Santos and Israel Cendrero, the duo known as Llama Dice, and illustrated by Joan Guardiet, this completely independent edition of The White Castle is specifically designed for two players and features distinct mechanics from its predecessor. While both games share a theme and some references, which will be familiar to those familiar with The White Castle, this game poses a new challenge to those who take on the challenge.

There are no dice or bridges in The White Castle: Duel. Players have six lamp cylinders that they use to select the actions they want to carry out and simultaneously activate the effects of their lamp cards. Among the available actions, players can use resources to place their clan seals in strategic locations on the board, acquire influence cards, and valuable commodity tokens, which will award points based on different criteria.

Emulating the subtlety of Japanese court intrigue, in this game everything can turn upside down with a small action, as players can use a special token to move actions on the board. With a strong strategic focus, The White Castle: Duel draws on the best of The White Castle and elevates it to a new experience exclusively for two players, a field in which the authors are specialists.
