The White Castle: Duel

The same castle, rebuilt for two.

A standalone two-player version of The White Castle, redesigned rather than trimmed — the dice-and-bridges core is intact but the scoring and the pressure are rebuilt around head-to-head play.

No base game required. Around forty-five minutes, and considerably more cut-throat than the four-player original since there's nowhere for a bad turn to hide.

Perfect for: two-player households, euro couples, and people who own the original and want the sharper version.
