Between Two Castles: Essential Edition – Partnered Castle‑Building Fun 🏰✨

Collaborate with your neighbors to build two castles simultaneously and let your lowest castle score determine your final fate.

This Essential Edition brings together the base game and the *Secrets & Soirees* expansion in one beautiful package with upgraded insert and solo/automa components.

On each turn, draft two tiles and work with your left and right neighbors to place one tile into each castle—team up, but don't get too cozy.
