Castles of Mad King Ludwig: Renovations Coming to Kickstarter November 1

Hot on the heels of the deluxe edition of The Castles of Mad King Ludwig (well, hot on the heels of receiving it, anyway), Bezier Games has announced an upcoming expansion that will be compatible both with the original version and with the deluxe edition.

Castles of Mad King Ludwig: Renovations will be coming to Kickstarter on November 1, 2022 and just from the graphic design aspect, it looks really cool.

What are renovations and how do they work?

From the press release:

“Castles of Mad King Ludwig Renovations expansion contains special double room type tiles that you can use to renovate your castle WHILE you build it! Get double the completion rewards, and fulfill favors twice as fast with a wide variety of renovations in every size. Renovations give you two completion rewards, successfully place them on an already-completed room and you will score both rewards instantly! Renovations is completely compatible with all editions of Castles of Mad King Ludwig!“

Since you’re putting the renovation on top of the tile, that’s how it’s compatible with both versions.

There will also be a Colossal version of it for sale for those of you who bought the Colossal Deluxe edition.

I have to admit that these look pretty cool.

I’m not sure exactly how this will work in the game, whether you buy a renovation instead of a room or some other way of doing it.

I guess we’ll find out!

No word on pricing yet, but the Kickstarter preview page is live and you can go there to be notified when it comes out!

I have finally been able to pick up my Deluxe Edition copy but I haven’t had a chance to open it yet.

This may give me some incentive.

What are your thoughts on this? Is it cool? Meh? Or something worse?

Let me know in the comments.
