Pros

  • White castle is the only one I've played of those but it's a top tier design
  • The white castle is rock solid. Solo, 2p, 3p. All great. I never fully understood why people claimed the solo mode was unwinnable or anything.
  • the solo mode is tough as nails too. very enjoyable but difficult is definitely a word i would use to describe it.
  • The White Castle is an absolute beast of a game
  • I love white castle a lot. Top game for me this year, but definitely doesnt scratch the combat itch.

Cons

  • I've only played it once before so I was happy to get a second play. ... Turns out we got very few good castle options on the cards so it ended up being quite difficult.
  • As much as I would love to play games like The White Castle with my family, I tried it and it was an experience they hated.
  • The White Castle - She was not a fan, and didn't enjoy the tightness of the game.
  • I haven't played white castle, but it looks very bland to me personally.
  • The White Castle would be a terrible pick for this, I just thought it was funny. Unless the person you're giving it to is a gamer, in which case it's an incredible pick.

I picked up White Castle this year and it quickly became one of my favorites. Crunchy without making me feel like my brain is melting out of my ears and doesn’t overstay its welcome. Highly recommended.

White Castle is just a very different experience. It’s a tight, restrictive puzzle that plays in around an hour.
