The White Castle is a medium game (weight 5/10). Despite the modest rules footprint, the decision space is deep (8/10) — the kind of game that rewards a dozen plays. Decision density is intense (9/10) — expect brain-burn and the occasional bout of AP. There's meaningful but indirect interaction (interaction 5/10) — shared resources, catch-up effects, or watch-and-react moments. Direct attacks are minimal (2/10) — the friction comes from contention, not aggression.
