Dragon Castle: The Board Game

I own the board game, this is a good adaptation of it. Fun way to enjoy some relaxing Mahjong when you don't have an opponent around for the physical game.

Very relaxing, great graphics, and tactical gameplay that can be as straightforward or as brain-burning as you'd like it to be, depending on the rule modifiers you pick before starting a game. There's plenty of choices to make each turn depending on which way you want to gain points, so it doesn't quite feel 'solved' - unless, perhaps, you're playing with the optional Spirits and Dragons disabled. In that way it has a feel quite similar to Railroad Ink and Potion Explosion, both also made by Hjalmar Hach and Lorenzo Silva - you can play the game in a stripped-down mode for either less thinking or more even-handed competition (depending on how you look at it), or embellish it with extra powers to make it more thinky.

It's one of those perfect board games, simple to pick up but with loads of depth and interesting decisions. Every game plays differently and provides its own unique challenge based on the board set up, dragons and spirits. The digital version is excellent. The animations are just beautiful - just wait till you summon your first spirit. The music is zen-like and goes well with the game. The tutorials are decent.

Beautiful implementation of a good abstract board game. My only cons with this version is that there's no undue button or quick reference sheet to the scoring or rules (not sure if the physical board game had a player aid). I would also love to see all the suggested layouts that were in the physical rule book translated into the digital version with the same breakdown based on the suggested player count. Thanks for making this!!

Interesting multiplayer take on solitaire mahjong. Async cross-platform multiplayer mode works great. Recommended.

Own both the physical board game and this digital version. It is a faithful translation, and it plays really well. The UI and the gameplay feels very tightly close to the physical game. Greatly recommended.

Niestety ale żaden poradnik wideo w języku polskim nie daje w grze nic. Wersja angielska w samej grze jakaś okrojona. Nie da się grać. gra jak dla mnie oszukuje. ja mogę brać tylko po 1 klocku bo bierze zawsze po 2. przy wyborze podświetlają się 30 kafelków ale jak klikasz na jakiś do wywala że nie możesz z przyczyn znanych tylko autorowi gry. nie polecam porażka mało intuicyjna.

Easily in my top 5 board games, Fantastic port of the game to PC. Can't recommend it enough.

Nota 7 de 10 Boa adaptação do jogo físico. Mas tem bugs que atrapalham no andamento da partida.
