S. Jorge Trophy

The Lisbon Castle Board Game

The Castle St. Georg in Lisbon over the course of centuries has been shelter for many different people and persons – among them Christians, Romans, Moors. Legend tells that every 1000 years former inmates of the castle meet and compete in the St. George Tournament. The winner will be the lord of the Castle for the next 1000 years. If you are the first to collect three real trophy markers you win the game.

You choose a home base and a character according two your two location cards. In your turn you can move your character up to 5 steps = spaces, one space less for each trophy you carry, and can turn by 90° at the start of the turn, a character cannot move backwards. Spaces are all circles on the board, if they are numbered or not. Trophies you collected you bring back to your base, where they are safe, and draw a new location card to collect another trophy. If you deliver trophies at the base or step on a location where you can collect a trophy because you have the card, your turn ends immediately and you can leave the space in the next move in any direction you choose. You can take off trophy markers from other characters you meet and can carry up to three markers at the same time. You must always keep a trophy that you choose and take, even if it is a fake. The special abilities of the 12 historic characters allow you to use secret passage, look at trophies, turn 180° or make another move.

S. Jorge Trophy is a beautiful example from the category of promotional museum games, a simple mechanism, beautiful components coupled with lots of atmosphere and information.
