Caylus review

Caylus is a game that demands your full attention. It's not for the casual gamer looking for a quick, lighthearted experience. This game is for those who are willing to dive deep into strategy and think several turns ahead. Each player takes on the role of a master builder, working to construct a castle for the King of France in the 13th century. The game is all about managing resources, building structures, and scoring points.

I was immediately drawn to the intricate mechanics and the feeling of constant decision-making. You're constantly juggling your resources, deciding which buildings to construct, and trying to predict your opponents' moves. The game has a surprising amount of depth, despite the relatively simple core mechanics. It's amazing how much the strategy can change from game to game, making it incredibly replayable.

Some might find the complexity overwhelming, especially if you're new to Eurogames. But for experienced gamers, Caylus is a true masterpiece. It's a game that demands your full attention, but the rewards are worth it. The feeling of accomplishment after a well-played game of Caylus is unmatched. If you're looking for a game that will challenge your mind and leave you wanting more, then Caylus is definitely worth checking out.
