Title: Castles Of Mad King Ludwig
Post by: Dragon on June 01, 2025, 19:22:56
It has been nearly 5 years since we played Castles Of Mad King Ludwig, even though we've brought it up in conversation several times. We all seem to like this game quite a bit but somehow it's just been left on the shelf for a while. Today we finally broke it out.

We decided to use the Secrets expansion, which is something we've probably done every time since we got it. Unfortunately, I forget to play my secret passages often times and the game is nearly over before I find a spot for one if I get any. Isaac, on the other hand, made great use of his secret passages, and ended up making great connections to his Throne Room, jumping ahead quite a bit in just one turn. So, even though I completed my moat, and I think I have the nicest looking castle, I wasn't the winner.

Final score: Isaac: 141; Nathaniel: 111; Beth: 103

Board Game Arena now has Castles Of Mad King Ludwig! It looks like the artwork is from the 2nd Edition... not too surprising. I own the 1st Edition and I do like the artwork on 1st Edition, so aside from wanting to get the COLOSSAL COLLECTORS EDITION, I wasn't too interested in getting the 2nd Edition. Still, I'm looking forward to playing it more on BGA.
