Mandatory restart if the only path leads to a treasury guard (the wording in the rules is: A restart is also possible due to a strong block if no other restarts are available. Whether a block is strong enough is determined by mutual agreement between the players or by the judges). Also, a restart is possible if one of the players cannot build a road from their castle (castle in an open field, a very rare case).
Is this not the case?
