About this board game
A Castle for All Seasons is a tactical building game for 2–4 players that takes about 60 minutes. As master builders, players help construct a new castle for the king while competing to finish with the most points.
Each turn, players make a tactical choice from a selection of character cards. Cards from hand are played simultaneously, then revealed and resolved in a set order. Their effects create interaction between players, making each round surprising and varied.
- Choose and play character cards at the right moment.
- Collect resources and money to support your building plans.
- Build buildings and uncover spaces that provide end-game bonuses.
The character cards offer more than one-time actions. One card allows a player to pick played cards back up into their hand, making it possible to reuse cards that have already been played. Timing your choices and anticipating the effects of other players are central to making the most of your hand.
When a building is completed, its tile is moved to reveal spaces for workers. These spaces award bonus points at the end of the game, adding another consideration to every construction decision. Gathering the right resources and money is only part of the challenge; the buildings you complete can also shape your final score.
In A Castle for All Seasons, the winner is not known until all points are counted. Build your way toward the king’s castle, manage your cards carefully, and use the changing opportunities on the board to claim victory.
