Through strategic trading and building, clever planning, and careful thought in The Castles of Burgundy: The Card Game , players add settlements and castles, practice trade along the river, exploit silver mines, farm livestock, and more. Similar to the board game, the card game is played in five phases, each consisting of five rounds. The game ends after the fifth phase is played to completion. Victory points are awarded for unused money and workers, and undelivered goods. Bonus victory points from certain settlement tiles are awarded at the end of the game. --description from the publisher
