menagerie of new rooms, and enter one of our newly constructed towers
via a secret passage! Mind the swans, they bite!
Castles of Mad King Ludwig Expansions contains so much extra content
for Castles of Mad King Ludwig, it's a small miracle it all fits into
one box. Can we even fit it all in the product description?
Renovations - Do you regret placing the King's Bedroom
right next to the Orchestra Room? Don't hesitate to renovate! Each
Renovation counts as TWO room types and upon completion gives you TWO
completion bonuses! Why would we do such a thing? Perhaps we're mad!
Secret Passages - "Oh man this room doesn't fit!" Say
this no more thanks to Secret Passages. Not only do these nifty little
passageways provide for more connection opportunities, they double the
score!
Moats and Barbicans - For the space efficient among
us or if you would like an added challenge, you can add moats to keep
your castle safely contained within. Not only do they keep out invading
forces, moats provide additional bonus points for rooms built inside
the moat's protective walls!
Swan Tokens - Just like real swans, these swan tokens
will have you deciding between immediate and delayed gratification. Are
you hurting for money? Trade in swans for cash! Or maybe you've made

Swan Tokens for BIG points at the end of the game!

a special ability! Everyone gets a special ability! These special
abilities range from in-game bonuses to end game scoring opportunities.
What's that? One special ability is not enough? Then try out the

Towers - Sometimes the public King's Favors just don't
jive with the vision you have for your castle. Completing a towers not
only gets you a completion reward for its room type but your very own
private King's Favor! These score just like the public favors (1st,
2nd, 3rd, 4th place) but you are the only one to get points!
