Pillars Of The Earth

In Pillars Of The Earth players take on the role of a master builder in medieval Europe, competing with other players to contribute the most to the greatest cathedral in all of England.

$89.00

Based on the novel by Ken Follet, in Pillars Of The Earth players must balance resources and finances, hire and fire staff, and allocate their master builders, as they work to out-build their opponents, hoping to gain the king’s favour in the process.

Beautifully designed and with plenty of awards, Pillars Of The Earth makes use of resource management mechanics and enough strategy to keep even the grumpiest stonemason happy!
