Hi.
I'm new, and I got the game this Christmas. and i have a doubt, the rules say that the first to reach 7 castles or strongholds, wins the game.
Ok, but for example, start the turn 5 and i play first, and conquest the 7 castles, I win?, or i have to wait the end of turn of everybody, and keep the 7 castles for win?

Rulebooks says:

"If, at any time during the game, a player controls seven such areas, that player immediately wins the game."

As soon as you reach 7 castles, game over. You win. You do not need to wait until the end of the turn/round.

This is correct.

If I recall, 1st edition was the end of the turn (or our group interpreted it that way) but an immediate win makes for a more tense and strategic game.

1st edition was the same way. "If a House, at any time, controls seven areas containing Cities and Strongholds, the game is immediately over and that player is declared the winner."
