What is The Pillars of the Earth
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.

Juego de colocación de trabajadores con un sistema original de elección de inicativa. Los trabajadores de los jugadores se van sacando de una bolsa y el propietario decide si colocar el trabajador asumiendo un coste, o pasar y colocarlo gratuitamente cuando se hayan sacado todos los trabajadores de la bolsa. Está ambientado en la novela de ken follet, y va sobre la construcción de una catedral. La partida dura seis turnos y está bastante entretenido. Es sencillo y familiar. Dura un poco más de una hora. El juego pertenece estrictamente a mi hermano, pero tras tenerlo en casa muerto de risa du

la temática funciona muy bien, el sistema de colocación de trabajadores es bastante novedoso. Excelente.
Muy entretenido. da gusto jugarlo por el nivel de los componentes. No es nada complicado y de duración media 90 min aprox.
Muy buen juego de gestión de recursos, aunque me da la impresion de que tras un numero determinado de partidas todo el mundo querrá tener los mismos artesanos, tácticas, etc. Pero ya lo confirmaré
