Die Säulen der Erde / The Pillars of the Earth is based on the bestselling novel by Ken Follett and the 2006 game in the Kosmos line of literature-based games.
At the beginning of the 13th century, construction of the greatest
and most beautiful cathedral in England begins. Players are builders who
try to contribute the most to this cathedral's construction and, in so
doing, score the most victory points. Gameplay roughly consists of
using workers to produce raw materials, and then using craftsmen to
convert the materials into victory points. Workers may also be used to
produce gold, the currency of the game. Players are also given three
master builders each turn, each of which can do a variety of tasks,
including recruiting more workers, buying or selling goods, or just
obtaining victory points. Getting early choices with a master builder
costs gold, as does purchasing better craftsmen. Players must strike a
balance between earning gold to fund their purchases and earning victory
points.
A sloppy attempt to investigate which materials/craftsmen are
most efficient at converting workers into points. Not based on actual
gameplay experience - just playing with the numbers.
El texto de todas las cartas de Los Pilares de la Tierra,
tanto del juego básico como de la ampliación. El documento está listo
para imprimir a dos caras. Perfecto para los que hayáis comprado una
versión que no sea la española.
Para la mayoría de las cartas he tomado el texto de la versión oficial
en español, pero otras las he tenido que traducir de la versión inglesa.
Por eso, encontraréis algunos textos traducidos libremente, pero he
procurado que el efecto quede claro.
Si tenéis alguna sugerencia solo tenéis que escribirme. Espero que os
sea útil.
A table displaying the various craftsmen available by round,
the resources they use, their cost and maximum output. Plus, the worker
cost for resources and their market value. Designed with new players in
mind; not a rules review.
A quick summary of the rules for PotE, arranged in the order
of the phase, laid out to be printed in 12-point type so those of us in
the 'Old' Guard and the Thick Glasses Brigade can read ti easily
A Pillars of the Earth game mat for holding all the common
materials used by all the players like metal, the extra black worker and
various card stacks. This gives the game players a designated spot for
all those "other" resources. Two identical pages of the mat are given to
allow printing on the front and back of the mat. I never liked leaving
the back side of a mat blank. Laminate the double-sided aid after
printing. It is recommended using this mat in conjunction with the
almighty Holier-Than-Thou player mats made by Major Sholto.
