The White Castle
El bernat pescaire sobrevola el cel de Himeji mentre el Dàimio, des de lo mes alt del castell, veu els seus servents anar de aquí cap allà. Els jardiners netejant l'estanc, on viu la carpa koi, els guerrers vigilant a les muralles, i els cortesans que s'amunteguen a les portes, anhelant una audiència que els acosti als cercles mes íntims de la Cort. Quan es fa fosc, encenen les llums i el treballadors retornen al seu clan.
A "The White Castle", els jugadors controlaran un d'aquests clans per aconseguir més punts de victoria que els altres. Per això hauran de incrementar la seva influència a la Cort, manegar recursos agosaradament, i colocar els seus treballadors al lloc correcte en el moment correcte. Els autors son Sheila Santos i Israel Cendrero, el duet conegut com a Llama Dice, els disenyadors de l'exitos "The Red Cathedral" amb Devir. En aquest cas deixem enrere el Moscú d'Ivan El Terrible per explorar la fortalesa mes imponent al Japó modern, el castell Himaji, a on l'estandart del clan Sakai oneja sota les ordres del Dàimio Sakai Tadakiyo.

Rounds
Players take turns placing dice, the round ends when each player has placed 3 dice.
On Your Turn
Play is resolved in this order.
- Choose a die from either end of any of the bridges and choose the location to activate with that die.
- If you used a die with a value lower than the space, you will need to pay the difference of pips as coins. If you used a die with value higher than the space, you will get the difference of pips as coins.
- If you took the die from the left (lower die) of a bridge you additionally get to do your lantern action, the cards tucked on your play board.
- Perform the main action of your die.
Placement Areas
Castle Dice can be placed in any of the 5 spaces on the first level and second level of the castle. Perform all actions that match the colour of your selected die.
Outside the Walls Place die of any colour and take the adjacent principal action (Gardener, Courtier, Warrior)
Personal Domain Gain the resources of all revealed spaces, then perform the action on the card that lines up with the row.
Principal Actions
Gardener Choose a garden card without one of your gardeners, pay the cost in food to place and activate the card. This card will activate again if there is a die left above it at the end of the round.
Courtier Either, Pay 2 coins to place a courtier in the courtyard, AND/OR Pay 2 or 5 mother of pearl resources to move a courtier up 1 or 2 levels. If your courtier ends on the top level of the castle gain a lantern award (your player boards tucked cards) and place your courtier on an empty bonus space. Otherwise on level 1 and 2 pick a card to take and do one of the light banner actions, then it will flip over and add to your future lantern actions.
Warrior Choose any yard (top right corner) and pay the iron resource costs to place a warrior and gain the rewards. These will also multiply your score for your courtiers in the castle at the end of the game.
Daimyo Actions
You can spend your Daimyo seals to exchange resources at 2-1, or coins at 1-1.
