The year is 1289. To strengthen the borders of the Kingdom of France, King Philip has decided to build a castle. For now, the village of Caylus is just a quiet spot, but soon workers and craftsmen will flock to the region, lured by the promise of prestige and wealth. A bustling town will slowly emerge along the main road.

The now-legendary game Caylus is considered one of the best board games of all time. Players take on the roles of master builders, earning prestige points and the King's favor by constructing the royal castle and developing the surrounding town. Once the castle is complete, the player with the most prestige wins.

This game is best suited for experienced players.
