GOAL OF THE GAME

• The goal of the game is to score the most victory points. The player who has the

most victory points as shown on the victory point track at the end of the game is the

winner.

• Victory points are mostly earned by using craftsmen to build up the cathedral with

building resources at the end of each round.

SUMMARY OF GAME PLAY

• The game is played over 6 rounds. Each round represents several years in the

building process. At the end of the game, the cathedral is complete.

• Each round is divided into 3 phases.

While that sounds complex and long, the game is actually played in Phases I and

II. Phase III requires very little time. The phases help keep the game play organized

and clearly specify the order of events. Because actions 1–14 follow the layout of the

board in clockwise order, there’s no need to look up what will happen next.

I. Selection of building resource cards and craftsman cards

II. Master builder assignment

III. Game board actions (in clockwise order):

1. Events: Reveal the top event card

2. Archbishop’s seat: Protection from events

3. Wool mill: Collect income

4. Kingsbridge: Take an advantage card

5. Kingsbridge priory: Take victory points

6.–8. Resource production: Claim resources from resource spaces: forest,

quarry, and gravel pit

9. King’s court: Tax exemption (first player receives an additional 1 metal)

10. Shiring: Take a craftsman

11. Shiring Castle: Take 2 workers for the next round

12. Kingsbridge resource market: Buy and sell building resources (metal may

only be sold)

13. Cathedral: Victory points from craftsmen

14. Change the starting player

Tip: When you play the game for the first time, there is no need to read all the game rules

before you start. Just read the explanation of the current game phase, play through it, and

then read on.
