The Castles of Burgundy: 1st Expansion – New Player Boards is an expansion for 勃根地城堡 released in 2011 for 2–4 players, 90 minutes per game, and ages 12 and up. It was designed by Stefan Feld and its main mechanics are Dice Rolling and Tile Placement.
4 double-sided player boards, numbered 10a–10h. These boards are part of the Spielbox magazine issue 05/2011. Rules: In the original game, you have to lay all tiles in the princedom next to at least one already laid-out tile. Now, not only do you have to place them as just described, but in addition, the tiles always need to be connected - directly or indirectly (i.e. by the same color) with at least one castle. In other words: If you add a new tile, it must lie either directly next to a castle - or at least be connected with a castle by the same color (as the tile); a different color is not allowed. This rule doesn't apply to new castles; they may be added as before. At any time, for the cost of both dice actions and 5 victory points, a player may retrieve a previously set-aside (that was unclaimed/purchased from the main board in a previous round) Castle tile (Green or Black-backed) and place it in their reserve.
