The White Castle Duel Game Review

Between in-person plays of The White Castle (2023, Devir), the expansion The White Castle: Matcha, and online plays of the base game on Board Game Arena, I’ve now played a game in the system of The White Castle over a hundred times, making it the most-played game in my collection. My highest score in the base game is 105 points; when I first got the game, I was struggling to even score 40 points. Getting beaten by the solo bot and a lot of other players has taught me quite a bit!

The White Castle is one of the very few games I find to be exceptional at all player counts, even solo. With two players, the base game is a very solid experience that my wife and I can play in about 30 minutes. For something with only nine turns, it is still amazing to me how much game The White Castle has in the box for such a short turn structure (and such a great price).

Over the last few years, “The Hobby” has spoken…and apparently, every successful game needs its own two-player-only format. Therefore, it was not a surprise when The White Castle Duel arrived on my doorstep. I’m a big fan of Devir’s catalog, and I’m a massive fan of the Devir…
