The Castles of Burgundy
The Castles of Burgundy
2011 | Dice Game, Medieval, Territory Building
Castles of Burgundy is one of my favorite light Euros and a great introduction to the hobby. The component quality is definitely one of the worst things about it, but it's easy enough to get past once you learn the game.
At its simplest, Castles is a point fiesta all about picking up and putting tiles down.

It does use dice to introduce randomness and can lead to some feel bad moments for your originally set plans, but it rewards setting up to take advantage of any situation or dice rolls. Every action you do scores you points or leaves you in a better position than before, so as in any euro, there are more efficient actions, but nothing that will end your game immediately or set you behind. Your dice rolls are also malleable, either through workers (one time use to change the value incrementally) or various buffs that make picking up or placing tiles easier. There are a wide strategy of what tiles to focus on that allows you to adjust your plan based on what the opponent is doing. Every tile does something special, and there are rewarding combos that can be pulled off that reward skilled play. For someone who wants zero randomness in their euro, I'd definitely lean away from castles, but anyone who is just beginning their foray either into gaming or euros will definitely appreciate this game.
