{"product_id":"the-castles-of-burgundy","title":"The Castles of Burgundy","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe game is set in the Burgundy region of High Medieval France. Each player takes on the role of an aristocrat, originally controlling a small princedom. While playing they aim to build settlements and powerful castles, practice trade along the river, exploit silver mines, and use the knowledge of travellers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe game is about placing settlement tiles into the princedom. Every tile has a function that starts when the tile is placed. The princedom itself consists of several regions, each of which demands its own settlement tile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe core game mechanism involves two dice. The pips show the kind of action the players are allowed to do (example: roll a 2 and a 5: using the 2 the player buys a watch tower and places it on a 5 city tile which triggers the function of the tower with additional advantages).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is also possible to influence the dice, so the player is not completely subject to luck.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe rules include basic and advanced versions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eComponents:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e164 six-sided tiles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e42 goods tiles (square, 7 in each of 6 colours)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e20 \"Silverlings\" (eight-sided)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e30 worker tiles (square)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e12 bonus tiles (square, 1 small and 1 large in each of 6 colours)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4 victory pieces (with 100 or 200 points in each of the 4 colours)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e8 playing pieces (2 in each of the 4 player colours)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e9 dice (2 in each of the 4 player colours plus 1 white one)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 game board\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6 player boards (double-sided, 4x No. 1, 1 each of Nos. 2-9)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor greater replay value, the game contains player boards numbered \u003cstrong\u003e1\u003c\/strong\u003e–\u003cstrong\u003e9\u003c\/strong\u003e (with four of board 1, to give new players an even playing field).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ravensburger","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39689855598778,"sku":"","price":54.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0567\/4178\/9882\/products\/84876.jpg?v=1620712779","url":"https:\/\/houseofcards.ca\/products\/the-castles-of-burgundy","provider":"House of Cards ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
