Description

The Pillars of the Earth: Expansion Set is the perfect addition to the original game, bringing new excitement and challenges to the table. Released in 2007, this expansion builds on the success of the 2006 base game, introducing fresh elements from the novel that will keep you engaged for hours. With a playtime of 120 minutes, you'll have plenty of time to immerse yourself in the medieval world, navigating the complexities of economic management and strategic planning. The game's normal complexity makes it accessible to board game enthusiasts, and the worker placement mechanics will have you competing with friends and family to achieve your goals. As you delve into the expansion, you'll discover new opportunities to influence the game world, such as sending mercenaries to the crusades or taking on the role of tax collector. The addition of new material also allows for up to six players to join in, making it an ideal choice for larger game nights. With moderate in-game text, you may need to refer to a crib sheet or paste-ups to get the most out of the experience, but the payoff is well worth it. The Pillars of the Earth: Expansion Set is a must-have for fans of the original game, offering a rich and immersive experience that will keep you coming back for more.
