The Castles of Burgundy

From the publisher:

In Middle Ages Burgundy, the players are aristocrats, ruling over a small princedom. The goal? To build settlements and powerful castles, practice trade along the river and exploit the nearby silver mines. The game mechanics are center upon placing settlement tiles into the princedom. Every tile has its own function, which is activated as soon as the tile is placed. The princedom itself consist of several country regions; each of these regions requires its own settlement tile. Additionally, the players roll dice to see which action they may choose. For example, a player rolls a "2" and a "5". Using the "2", the player purchases a watchtower and places it on a "5" city tile which triggers the function of the tower -- with additional advantages. It is possible to mitigate the luck of these dice, reducing the influence of luck.
