We are happy today to introduce a type of game we didn't have yet on Board Game Arena. Dragon Castle, a game inspired from the traditional Chinese Majhong game, designed by Hjalmar Hach, Luca Ricci and Lorenzo Silva, and published by Horrible Guild, is now available online!
In Dragon Castle, you are a feudal lord building a castle on your realm. Luckily for you, the mighty Dragon Castle, once the pride of the whole country, is now crumbling. You'll be able to draw resources from its waning power to consolidate your own, and if you take care of flattering Dragons and invoking Spirits at the best possible time to help you, maybe your castle will be the next to rise above all others!
On your turn, you'll pick a free tile from the top layer of the Dragon Castle, then choose to pair it with another if possible, or sometimes to take a Shrine instead of a second tile. Then, you'll use these tiles to build your castle. Each time you create a set of 4 connected tiles or more of the same type, you'll consolidate them to score points, and place one or more Shrines (depending on the tile type) to score even more points. Paying attention to what type of tiles other players need in order to prevent them from getting those is advised: it's a powerful way of staying ahead of the competition.
The Dragon will grant you bonus points at the end of the game if you match its conditions, so you should try to please it. Anyway, it's always a bad idea to displease a Dragon! The Spirit's power can also be a big boost on your way to the top, but can be summoned only with a cost: you should make sure it's worth it. Every game is a new challenge since the shape of the Dragon Castle, the Dragon card and the Spirit card in play will be different, creating a lot of combinations to explore.
We would like to give a huge thank you to Horrible Guild for granting us an authorization to host their game online on Board Game Arena, and to the developer hersh who crafted a really great implementation using BGA Studio.
We should also say that the art for the game, created by Cinyee Chiu, is really distinctive and beautiful, transporting you in a colourful Chinese dream of castles, spirits and dragons.
Enjoy the dream and the game!
龙城对垒
今天我们很高兴为您介绍一款新游戏。
由Hjalmar Hach,Luca Ricci和Lorenzo Silva设计并由Horrible Guild发行,受中国传统麻将游戏启发的游戏 《龙城对垒》现已上线!
立刻玩吧!
在 龙城对垒中 ,您将扮演一位封建领主,在自己的领地上建造一座城堡 。
对您而言幸运的是,曾举世闻名的雄伟龙城正在衰落。
您能从其逐渐衰落的力量中汲取资源以巩固自身。若您能在最合适的时机通过讨好神龙和召唤圣灵来获取帮助,或许您的城堡将成为下一个超越众人的城堡!
在您的回合,如果可能,您将从龙城最顶层拿取一块免费城砖,然后将其与另一块进行配对,有时您也可以通过拿取一枚神殿来代替第二块城砖。
然后,您将使用这些城砖来建造城堡。
每当您创造了一个四枚及以上相同类型的 城砖组合 时,您将 合并 他们以获取分数,您也可以通过 放置一块或更多的神殿 (取决于城砖类型)以获取更多分数。
时刻关注其他玩家以防止他们获得所需要的城砖:这是在竞争中保持领先的有效方法。
如果您符合条件, 神龙将在游戏结束时给您提供额外的分数,因此您应该尝试取悦它。
无论如何,惹怒一条龙总不是一个好主意!
圣灵的力量也可以极大地推动您攀上顶端,但召唤他们需要付出代价:您应该确保这是值得的。
每局游戏都是一次新的挑战,因为城堡、神龙和圣灵的形态会因每局游戏而异,从而创造了许多可供探索的组合。
我们非常感谢 Horrible Guild,他们授权我们在BGA上运营这款游戏,和开发者Hersh ,他使用BGA Studio 出色地实现了这款游戏的电子化。
我们还应该说,由 邱咏仪(Cinyee Chiu)带来的游戏美工设计着实独特且美丽,将您带入一个城堡、圣灵和神龙的中国美梦 。
享受梦想和游戏!
