Castles of Mad King Ludwig

Castles of Mad King Ludwig, a castle-building board game, tasks players with building extravagant castles for King Ludwig of Bavaria. Castles are constructed one room at a time, with a different player each round setting the prices for the others, resulting in a competitive, engaging game where building is as much fun as winning! Choose your strategy carefully as you compete against your friends or AI opponents. Or take on the Campaign, and travel to 15 real-life castle sites, each with up to 3 unique Crown Goals, providing hours of fun and challenge.

Player estimates

Nobody publishes how many people play Castles of Mad King Ludwig, so these figures are modelled from the public counts on Google Play, App Store, Twitch. Each count stands in a roughly known ratio to a population — one Play rating per ~45 players, one Steam review per ~35 owners — and the estimates below combine those readings, weighted by how much each source can be trusted to speak for the whole game. Read the range as the answer and the headline as its middle.

Frequently asked questions

We estimate that about 25,000 people have played Castles of Mad King Ludwig — plausibly between 11K and 54K. Around 1,200 of them play on a given day, in a range of 110 and 8.1K. Both figures are modelled from public counts on Google Play, App Store and Twitch rather than published by the developer, so read them as a scale rather than as a headcount.

Is Castles of Mad King Ludwig still active?

Yes. Castles of Mad King Ludwig is holding steady — it measured within a percent of where it was a week ago. We recheck every source daily, and the charts on this page show each platform's readings over time.

How are the Castles of Mad King Ludwig player estimates worked out?

Nobody publishes player counts for mobile games, so we infer them. Each public count we can read is converted into a population using a documented ratio — roughly one Google Play rating per 45 people who played, one Steam review per 35 owners, one Discord member per 40 players — and the live counts (Steam concurrents, members online, Twitch viewers) are converted the same way into a daily figure. Those separate estimates are then averaged in proportion to how much each source can be trusted, which is why sources that disagree widen the published range instead of cancelling out. This page is built on 2 readings taken since August 8, 2026.
