Description

In 15th century Strasbourg, the city's politics are shaped by the powerful craftsmen guilds. Players take on the roles of rising families, vying to place their members in these influential guilds. To succeed, you'll need to cleverly use your influence points to secure positions as apprentices, assistants, or master craftsmen, all while managing the admission fees. This game of strategy, designed by Stefan Feld, offers a unique blend of mechanisms, including area majority, auction, and tile placement, that provide plenty of room for decision-making. With no necessary in-game text, players of all languages can join in, and the normal complexity rules make it easy for board game enthusiasts to learn. In a game that lasts about 60 minutes, 3 to 5 players will need to balance their own plans with a watchful eye on their opponents' moves to earn the highest fame and emerge victorious.
