What a great video! The production is absolutely top-notch; it's strange it doesn’t have more views 😳 I suppose the game has been forgotten, and the expansions weren't that popular. Also, the fact that it was split up and that a collector's box is now necessary… How do you like it nowadays? Has it stood the test of time?
Thanks so much! It has actually fallen off for us a bit since the expansions. In fairness the expansions fixed most of the problems, but they also added maybe a layer too much of setup and play for folks who only play occassionally. I think if this was a regular rotation game for someone though (and if they had a good way to store it all together) it wouldn't be a problem.
Very good review. On the subject of the over powered castle path, this is never the case in our games. You cannot focus on one path and win, you need to dip into the castle, since everyone does it's no longer OP.
Jess sounds like a professional voiceover. ‘Adds an extra layer, especially the player boards’ 😂 Thanks for the overview!
This comment legitimately made her day.
Almost as much as those recessed player boards.

Nice review. Just a quick note: Most reviewers say Keeper of "the" Keys. It's just "Keeper of Keys"
Shucks! And we were so specifically careful not the say THE Gates of Gold, I can't believe we missed this. Good catch.
They really should have just gone full Ghostbusters and called them Keymaster and Gatekeeper
I have only played this solo. I was thinking playing this “why wouldn’t you just do only castle workers?”
This was kind of true with the base. But the expansions really do fix it. Everything is worthwhile now.
Okay cool! I would also have to buy the big box if I want to buy the expansions. The base boxes are so small
