Mysterious and inscrutable.
While Bezier Games might not be a household name, we’re all somewhat familiar with their work. Primarily a board game publisher, the last couple years have seen them expand to the digital realm. Not only have they pushed out helper apps for their games, like One Night Ultimate Werewolf, but they’ve also released the full-blown boardgame Suburbia for iPad and Android.
This morning they used Twitter to tease something for mobile, stating that the full announcement will be coming next week. Lucky for us, however, clues were left behind, detailing what might be on the horizon. Specifically, the background of the Android/Apple logos looks suspiciously like the walls of another popular Bezier title, Castles of Mad King Ludwig.
Castles of Mad King Ludwig is similar to Suburbia in that tiles are bought and placed in order to maximize scoring. Instead of each player building a metropolis, however, here you’re each building a castle. It differentiates itself from Suburbia with the role of Master Builder. Each turn one player is the MB who sets the prices of the available tiles for the other players, who then pay the MB to build those rooms in their castle. The MB picks last, and pays the bank, so the dilemma comes with deciding which room you want and pricing so that it isn’t bought by the other players. Of course, if you price rooms too high for everyone, then they can pass and you won’t make any money.
Suburbia was developed by one-man wonder, Jeremiah Maher who also programmed It’s Alive for iOS. Will he be in charge of getting Castles of Mad King Ludwig out the door as well? Is the new game even going to be Castles of Mad King Ludwig? We’ll know in a week.
After the break, watch Tom Vasel review Castles of Mad King Ludwig for The Dice Tower.
