Building a better board game.

The Castles of Burgundy looks like a typical Euro- board game from the early 2000's it looks boring. It also looks more complicated than it ends up being. The amount of brain power use in this game has a good balance between cerebral and mindless. At the end of the game you have something in front of you that you have built and it feels good in that respect even if you haven't won the game. It can be played casually, and with your full attention. My wife and I enjoy playing this as two players. We have played this many times more as a two player game than any other game in our collection. This game gets top marks, and is as close to a perfect game as I have experienced.
