The Castles of Burgundy: 10th Expansion – Solo

About this expansion

The Castles of Burgundy: 10th Expansion – Solo is a one-player mini-expansion for a 90-minute game of estate building, played across 25 rounds. It adds a dedicated solo board and rules for developing all 37 hex spaces of your estate.

Set up the game using the base game’s two-player setup, then choose a player color and take its playing pieces and dice along with the white die. You begin with a castle, a Silverling, two worker tiles, and three random goods. The double-sided solo board offers an A side for beginners and a B side for advanced players.

At the start of each round, roll three dice. The white die determines where the topmost goods tile is placed, while another die indicates which hex tile is removed from that depot. If the depot is empty, removal continues clockwise. You then perform your two regular dice actions, but expansion to other territories is possible only through rivers.

• Goods and ships: Placing a ship lets you take all goods from one depot, while removing goods from every other depot.
• Black tiles: Exchange five goods for a tile from the black depot, then place it face down on a storage space and later use it to complete regions.
• Region completion: Color bonuses are replaced by placing tiles from the black depot, potentially creating additional placements.
• Victory points: Gain points immediately where specified, buy additional points with Silverlings, and reset the counter whenever it reaches the target marker.

Black tiles help complete regions but have no other effects, so a black mine produces no Silverlings and a black ship provides neither goods nor another black-tile exchange. Resetting the victory point counter also grants a bonus dice action.

You win The Castles of Burgundy: 10th Expansion – Solo by occupying every space of your estate within the 25-round limit.
