Castles of Mad King Ludwig: Collector's Edition

Players act as eccentric palace builders designing lavish rooms to please the monarch. On each turn, players draft and place room tiles into their personal castle layout, pay costs, and arrange corridors to satisfy placement rules while scoring for room types and adjacency. The Collector’s Edition adds revised artwork, new favor and bonus cards, dual‑sided scoring, storage organizers, weighted player markers, and multiple included expansions such as towers with 3D miniatures and royal decrees. The box supports an optional fifth player and bundles components from prior releases into a single, expanded package.
