Build a medieval cathedral while navigating politics and fate
Vibe's take
Narrative, strategic, classic, atmospheric
Who it's for
Fans of the novel and euro gamers who want strong theme with their resource management. Best at 3-4 players.
Not for you if…
Not for players who want cutting-edge mechanisms or dislike games where luck of the draw can impact outcomes.
Based on Ken Follett's novel, players build a medieval cathedral by gathering resources, hiring craftsmen, and navigating events across six rounds. A classic euro with a strong narrative thread where worker-placement meets storytelling.
