## Overview

Thames & Kosmos The Pillars of the Earth is a 90-minute, 2-4 player board game inspired by Ken Follett’s bestselling novel.

## Description

Product Description The setting is England at the beginning of the 12th century. The construction of what is to be the greatest and most beautiful cathedral in England begins. Builders compete against each other to contribute the most to this cathedral's construction and, in so doing, score the most victory points. To play the game, first players must use workers to procure raw building materials, and then use craftsmen to refine the materials into victory points. What actions will you take on your path to victory? will you seek an audience with the King perhaps, to get to the metal you need? or should you avail yourself of the support of influential personalities? a brief stay in the monastery could be as beneficial to you as strong ties to your craftsmen. Your workers may also be used to produce gold, the currency of the game. Players are given three master builders each turn, each of which can do a variety of tasks, including recruiting more workers, buying or selling goods, or directly obtaining victory points. Getting early choices with a master Builder costs gold, as does purchasing more capable craftsmen. Players must strike a balance between earning gold to fund their purchases and earning victory points. Transport yourself to medieval England as described by Ken follett in his best-selling masterpiece novel, pillars of the earth. Set Contains: All game contents

Review: The game itself is fantastic and I absolutely recommend it. However no packing materials were used just a plastic postage bag and as a result box is damaged, so much so, I had to replace the box.
Review: This is one of the best worker placement games I have played. The mechanics are creative and fit the theme of the game and the board is beautiful. The rules suggest you start playing and read the rules as you go (once you've set up) and that is unique and worked well.
