Die Säulen der Erde / The Pillars of the Earth is based on the bestselling novel by Ken Follett and the 2006 game in the Kosmos line of literature-based games.
At the beginning of the 13th century, construction of the greatest and most beautiful cathedral in England begins. Players are builders who try to contribute the most to this cathedral's construction and, in so doing, score the most victory points. Gameplay roughly consists of using workers to produce raw materials, and then using craftsmen to convert the materials into victory points. Workers may also be used to produce gold, the currency of the game. Players are also given three master builders each turn, each of which can do a variety of tasks, including recruiting more workers, buying or selling goods, or just obtaining victory points. Getting early choices with a master builder costs gold, as does purchasing better craftsmen. Players must strike a balance between earning gold to fund their purchases and earning victory points.
A table displaying the various craftsmen available by round, the resources they use, their cost and maximum output. Plus, the worker cost for resources and their market value. Designed with new players in mind; not a rules review.
A quick summary of the rules for PotE, arranged in the order of the phase, laid out to be printed in 12-point type so those of us in the 'Old' Guard and the Thick Glasses Brigade can read ti easily
A Pillars of the Earth game mat for holding all the common materials used by all the players like metal, the extra black worker and various card stacks. This gives the game players a designated spot for all those "other" resources. Two identical pages of the mat are given to allow printing on the front and back of the mat. I never liked leaving the back side of a mat blank. Laminate the double-sided aid after printing. It is recommended using this mat in conjunction with the almighty Holier-Than-Thou player mats made by Major Sholto.
