Description
In The Pillars of the Earth: Builders Duel, two players go head to head in a battle to build the most impressive structure. One player is tasked with erecting a majestic cathedral, while the other is in charge of constructing a formidable fortress. The game is won by the player who successfully completes their building first. With its easy-to-learn rules, this 45-minute game is perfect for a quick and exciting competition. Players must gather and upgrade materials using action cards, transforming iron into bells, sand into cement, and wool into cloth. The game requires strategic bidding and card drafting, as players navigate the challenges of medieval construction. With its moderate in-game text, players may need a crib sheet to keep track of the action, but the thrill of competition and the satisfaction of building something magnificent make it well worth the effort.
