In Castellan two players work together to build a castle Finely-detailed wall & tower pieces link together to form courtyards & the player who finishes a courtyard claims it with a Keep scoring points for that courtyard equal to the number of tower pieces surrounding it In more detail each player starts the game with two decks of cards a wall deck & a tower deck Each card allows a player to play the components shown on it with the wall deck cards always depicting at least one wall (and some combination of wallstowers) & the tower deck cards always depicting at least one tower (and again some combination of wallstowers) On a turn a player can play as many cards as she wants but she draws only one card at the end of her turn The goal is to create courtyards – & subdivide existing courtyards – while keeping your opponent from doing the same Players have the same cards in their decks so the challenge is all about what to use when The game ends when all the castle pieces are used up & the player with the most points wins
