DESCRIPTION
England, beginning of the 12th century. The prior Philip de Kingsbridge has a dream: to build the most beautiful of cathedrals in the country. To make it, he surrounds himself with the most experienced builders.
The pillars of the earth is a set of tray. Like the hero of Ken Follett's book, you play a prime contractor charged by the prior to build a new cathedral. Using your workers and resources, you will have to judiciously deploy your assets so as to overcome setbacks and shortages.
With a strong theme, this management strategy game benefits from a fairly fluid mechanics: we collect resources that we then use to participate in the construction of the building by transforming its contribution into victory points. Beautifully illustrated, with rules accessible for a game of this type, the pillars of the earth is a game whose duration remains reasonable and rarely exceeds 1h30. This makes it a family game allowing all types of players to participate with so much pleasure.
Your goal: to acquire the maximum of victory points by taking advantage of each stage constituting the construction of the cathedral.
On a set that represents different places, you can place your builders at each turn to collect or exchange resources or even recruit additional workers, some of whom with special powers. It is these workers-artists who bring the victory points according to their skills. Indeed, at the end of the Tour, a new element of the cathedral is erected and each player marks the points corresponding to his contribution in this event.
There are several categories of craftsmen and several types of resources necessary so that they can work. You will therefore have to manage all of this at best to build the best team, the one that will collect the maximum victory points. Obviously this is not so simple because at each phase (there are 6), you can only perform 3 actions.
The pillars of the Earth therefore offers the possibility of trying various strategies while remaining simple because the actions and phases are linked naturally to the logic and the fluidity of the actions to be carried out.
