From BoardGameGeek
In Castellans, players will compete to build the most impressive jurisdictions in the city of Kosk with hopes of becoming its next Castellan - but this is no easy task! It requires players to navigate the complexities of construction, to pit short-term gains against long-term goals, and to decide between the assurance of small payoffs now or the possibility of larger payoffs later. As construction continues, the local Magistrate wanders each district of Kosk, casting judgment upon everyone's work at different times. Will you out-smart other players and gain the Magistrate's favor? Will you do enough in the big picture - and at the right times - to pull off the victory? -description from the publisher
