CAYLUS
What is Caylus? It is the hot game of 2005. It has just arrived in Malaysia and it was good.
Hailed by many as the best game of 2005, I played this last year in Games Circle with someone’s copy, who had bought it at Essen, the boardgaming mecca.
A deeply strategic game, it has players competing to build the castle for the king.
But first, the neighbouring town of Caylus have to be built up with the necessary buildings: blacksmith, clothshop, mason, quarry, etc.
From which the players can get coins, cloth, stone, wood, resources necessary for the undertaking of castle building.
But beware the agents of the King: the provost and the bailiff. The provost may be bribed to stop buildings from producing, and the bailiff will hurryup the castle construction, leaving stragglers behind.
Those who are good master builders, will earn the King’s favor.
At the end of the construction, who shall be the King’s favourite? Who shall be the most prestigious master builder?
Who shall be, the master of Caylus?
Sigh… unfortunately, no Caylus for me. Still need to wait for Teng hock’s Marvel Superheroes to comeout first before making the order together. ETA date? November 2006. Sigh… faster come outlar!
