Tips

Because one of the decks is in the 4 reserve piles, it is imperative to pull as many cards as possible out of these piles.

 

History

Castle of Indolence is based on a 19th century game of the same name.  The layout was changed by Thomas Warfield to more closely resemble Beleaguered Castle and to make the game more interesting and playable.
