Summary:

Players assemble pieces to build the castle according to the cards they draw. The objective is to enclose as many courtyards as possible, claiming them with keeps in your color. Towers form the corners of the courtyards and can also extend into a courtyard. When one player runs out of cards, the other draws and plays the remaining cards, taking one more turn. The player with the most towers wins.
