Example: The woodworker, which the players begin the game with, can

convert 2 wood into 1 victory point. His capacity is 4; that is, p1-he can convert

at most 8 wood into 4 victory points per round.

• As the game progresses, better craftsmen appear, who can convert

the building resources more efficiently and/or with a higher output

capacity.

Example: At the beginning, players have a

stonecutter, who requires 2 stone to create 1

victory point. A mason requires only 1 stone for 1

victory point, and a sculptor can convert 1 stone

into 2 victory points.

In addition to the normal craftsmen who convert building resources into victory points,

there are several special craftsmen who can also only be used at the end of a round:

• The goldsmith converts 3 gold into 1 victory point.

Example: When using the goldsmith, a player moves his or her wealth

marker back 12 fields and receives 4 victory points.

• The architect provides 1 victory point.

Tip: For this, p1-he doesn’t need any building resources. He occupies a place in

the craftsman row, though, on which another craftsman might be able to earn

more victory points.

• The tool maker provides 2 gold, as long as the player has metal in his

or her supply. The metal is not used up by this (and therefore is not

returned to the general supply).

Tip: The player can first use the metal for the toolmaker and then use it for

another craftsman to make something (and return it to the supply).

• The master woodworker can turn 1 wood into 4 gold. He can only do

this at most twice per round, so can turn at most 2 wood into 8 gold.

The wood is used up in this process.

• The bell maker, the glassblower, and

the organ builder require metal as their

consumable building resource. The metal is

used up in these conversions. The glassblower

and the organ builder also need sand or wood.

Craftsmen Requirements

The three types of craftsmen who the players begin with are not as good at converting

building resources into victory points as the craftsmen who will build the cathedral

later in the game. Because each player can only employ 5 craftsmen, they are often

exchanged for other craftsmen. They do have important special functions:

a Without a mortar mixer, a player cannot earn any victory points with a mason.

a Without a stonecutter, a player cannot sell stone in the resource market.

a Without a woodworker, a player cannot buy wood in the resource market.

Tip: Players should consider which craftsman to get rid of very carefully when making room

for better craftsmen.

THE ADVANTAGE CARDS

The advantage cards that players receive in Kingsbridge are, in general,

self-explanatory. There are three types:

• Cards that apply for the remainder of the game; that is, in perpetuity.

These cards represent patrons who support the player; for example, “Each

round, you receive 1 additional wood production”. They are placed in

ready view in front of their owners until the end of the game.

• Cards that are used once at the owner’s discretion; for example, “In

any one round of your choice, you pay no taxes ...”. They are placed in

ready view in front of their owners until they are used. Then they are

removed from the game.

• Cards that are used once and immediately; for example, “You

immediately receive 8 gold”. These cards are removed from the game as

soon as they are used.

Important: Before the final (sixth) round, the 2 advantage

cards for this round are placed in Kingsbridge: “You

immediately receive 1 metal” and “You immediately receive

1 stone and 1 wood.”

The cathedral is

nearly complete!

You immediately

receive 1 stone

and 1 wood.

The King arrives at

the ceremony!

You immediately

receive 1 metal.

GAME RULES

England, at the start of the 12th century — Prior Philip of Kingsbridge has an ambitious dream.

He wants to build the largest and most beautiful cathedral in the country. To do this, he needs

experienced master builders, played by you. You will work together on the monumental building, each

using your own workers and competing to make the largest contribution to the cathedral’s construction. You

must employ and manage skilled craftsmen. Your hired workers will source the necessary building resources

— stone, wood, and sand. What’s missing can be bought in the builders’ resource market, but for high prices.

As master builders, you will have to worry about more than just the construction of the cathedral.

The King will levy special taxes on a whim. Your plans may fall apart if you run out of gold. It’s a good idea to

periodically beg for the King’s favor. Maybe he will be in a generous mood and let you have some desperately

needed metal. An audience with the Archbishop might also be helpful, as it offers protection from more powerful

forces that manifest in unexpected events. Sometimes Fate will be kind to you, but sometimes it will hinder your

progress. You may also have to appeal to influential people to support your plans.

By the end, the glorious building — The Pillars of the Earth — will reach up to the Heavens. Who has

contributed the most to it and who has earned the most fame? The player who has used his or her gold, craftsmen,

and time most efficiently will be the winner.

For 2–4 Builders, Ages 12 and Up
