The White Castle: Bōeki 2026

At the docks of Himeji, the arrival of Portuguese merchant ships brings more opportunities for exchange and new ambitions for the clans. Only those who dominate trade and diplomacy will be able to overcome their rivals and become master of the court!

Take The White Castle to the next level with Bōeki, compatible with both the base game and the Matcha expansion. The Bōeki expansion (base game needed to play) includes: 20 Privilege cards, 12 Daimyo Gift tiles, and 6 Passage of Time tiles.

Among the new features added in Bōeki are the 20 Privilege cards, which players can obtain as they advance along the Passage of Time track. These cards grant special bonuses that alter certain requirements, such as dice rolls or the cost of certain actions.

Another new feature is the Daimyo Gift tiles, which are taken at the beginning of the game during the initial card selection. These gifts offer objectives that are scored at the end of the game if the corresponding space on the time track has been reached. Ready to return to Himeji Castle and make your clan the most influential?

The Bōeki module is compatible with White Castle, with or without the Matcha expansion.
