Description

In the medieval town of Blankenburg, a new count has taken over and people are flocking to the settlement in search of a better life. As a builder, you see an opportunity to make a name for yourself and earn prestige by constructing the town. You'll take on a unique persona, complete with special benefits, and start with basic resources and a bit of silver. Your goal is to build structures that meet the demands of the town's citizens, earning you the silver you need to bid on resources and expand your reach. As you play, you'll navigate the town's four districts, each with limited space and offering bonuses to those who control the most territory. You'll need to balance your building plans with the demands of the citizens, who will reward you with income for building what they want. But beware - events and visitors can throw a wrench in your plans, and you'll need to adapt to come out on top. With 60 to 90 minutes of playtime, Builders of Blankenburg is a game of strategy and skill that's perfect for 2 to 5 players. Designed by Peter Schultz and published in 2016, this game offers a fun and challenging experience for anyone familiar with board games, with its normal complexity and engaging mechanics making it a great choice for a night in with friends.
