Description
In the medieval world of Craftsmen, 2 to 5 players take on the role of entrepreneurs seeking to elevate the economy of a small town and gain eternal glory. The game is set over three years, during which players must prove their craftsmanship and skill by building production buildings, creating connections between them, and producing raw materials and consumption goods. With the help of five loyal but not very bright helpers, players must strategically manage their resources and make smart decisions to gain appreciation points. As players navigate the complexities of the game, they can also gain points by sending produced goods to far-off lands or buying them outright. With a playtime of 120 to 180 minutes, Craftsmen is a game that requires strategy, hand management, and a bit of luck. Published in 2013, this economic game is designed by Krzysztof Matusik and offers a unique blend of auction, bidding, and worker placement mechanics that will keep players engaged and competing for the top spot.
