The White Castle

The White Castle is a Euro-style strategy board game that combines dice placement and worker placement to earn influence and prestige at Himeji Castle.

Over three rounds, you’ll guide your clan by sending courtiers into the Room of the Thousand Carpets to climb the social ladder, dispatching gardeners to tend the pond and grounds, and posting warriors to patrol the walls. Each turn starts with dice on the three bridges, and using the right die at the right moment determines which actions you can take and how efficiently you can pay for them. Your personal domain tracks resources and keeps your workers ready to deploy, but space is tight and timing is everything as opponents cut off key routes and positions. The game rewards crisp sequencing, smart resource conversion, and opportunistic plays when the board state shifts. Available now at Boarding School Games—earn the Daimio’s favor.
