The Pillars of the Earth.
Transport yourself to Medieval England in Pillars of the Earth. It is early in the 12th Century and work has begun on the construction of the greatest cathedral the country has ever seen.
Players must acquire raw building materials using their workers and then use skilled craftsmen to convert those materials into victory points. Each player has three master builders to use each turn and must decide how to use them most wisely. Will you buy and sell goods, recruit more workers or directly obtain victory points?
In this award winning game you will strive to find the right balance between earning gold to fund your purchases and earning victory points. Pillars of the Earth is a Euro-style worker placement game based on the best-selling classic novel by Ken Follett.
