Yea big, yea high, four walls, minifig scale, not 20th century. What was too complicated about the rules? (22 years ago, 31-May-04, to lugnet.castle)

My Own Castle Competition. We are hereby happy to announce the official castle-building competition for the Castle Room at BrickFest 2004. The competition is pretty straightforward, but a lot can be done with it. It is the hope of the BrickFest 2004 (...)
