Handleiding

• Place the remaining 2 craftsmen face up at the bottom

of the game board, on the 2 lighter colored fields.

• Draw the top 7 building resources cards. Sort them by type and place

them face up next to the 2 craftsman cards. Set aside the 2 remaining

building resource cards as they will not be used in this round. These 9 face-up cards

are the supply for the first round.

Phase I: Select Building Resource Cards and Craftsman Cards

• Beginning with the starting player, players take turns in clockwise order choosing a

card from the supply. Once each player has chosen a card, the starting player takes

another turn, and so on.

• A player may choose not to take a card on his or her turn by passing. The next player

then takes a turn. Once a player passes, p5-he or she may not take any more cards from

the supply in this round.

• Phase I ends when all 9 cards have been taken from the supply, or when all players

have passed.

• Any remaining building resource cards are placed to one side for the next round.

Craftsman cards that were not chosen are removed from the game.

Taking a card

• Forests provide wood, quarries provide stone, and gravel pits provide sand. There

are 3 cards of each building resource, which bring a yield of 2, 3, or 4 building

resource cubes. There are always 7 of these 9 cards in the supply in each round.

There are also always 2 craftsman cards in the supply.

• A player who chooses a building resource card from the supply takes the

card and places it face up in front of himself or herself. The player must

place the required number of workers in the quarry, the forest, or the

gravel pit. The required number of workers is shown in the top left-hand

corner of the card, printed in the figure of a worker.

This number ranges from 2 (small gravel pit) to 10 (large quarry). A player

may not choose a building resource card if p5-he or she does not have

enough available workers to fulfill it.

• A player who chooses a craftsman card stakes the card and places it face

up in a row with his or her other craftsmen. It costs gold to choose a

craftsman. The cost to hire each craftsman is shown as a number on a

coin in the top left-hand corner of the card. The chosen craftsman has

now joined the player’s building team, and the player’s wealth marker is

moved down the appropriate amount of gold.

A player may not choose a craftsman card if p5-he or she does not have enough gold to

pay for the craftsman.

Tip: In each round, the 4 craftsmen get more expensive. But their skills improve and their

ability to make victory points increases.

• Important: Each player has living accommodations for only 5 craftsmen. Three of

those are already occupied at the start of the game. If a player takes a craftsman but

has no living space for them, p5-he or she must discard a craftsman. This craftsman is

removed from the game. A player may discard a craftsman card that p5-he or she just

took (and paid for). (This only makes sense if the player wants to prevent another player

from taking this craftsman).

Tip: Certain starting craftsmen allow you access to market

resources and ways to earn victory points. Read “Craftsmen

Requirements” on page 8 for more information.

• Each player who still has workers in his or her supply at the

end of Phase I places them in the wool mill. Later in the

round, they will earn you gold.

Note: A player who chooses to take few or no building resource cards will have plenty of

workers remaining to be placed in the wool mill. For this, the player will earn more income

(gold) than the other players. The possibility of sending workers into the wool mill should

always be considered, because gold is scarce in this game.

Phase II: Master Builder Assignment

• After the building resource cards and craftsman cards have been distributed, the

starting player takes the bag containing each player’s 3 master builders.

• Without looking, the starting player draws the first master builder from

the bag and places it on the black cost marker. The player whose master

builder was drawn may now place this master builder or pass.

Important: Once per round, the starting player may return the master builder that p5-he or

she has drawn to the bag and then choose another master builder. (This may result in

the same color being chosen.)

• There are a number of spaces where a master builder may be placed:

The Archbishop’s seat: Protection from events

Kingsbridge: Take an advantage card

Kingsbridge priory: Victory points

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

Shiring: Take a craftsman

Shiring castle: Take 2 workers for the next round

Kingsbridge resource market: Buy and sell building resources; sell metal

Cathedral: Determines the next starting player

• The master builders are placed on the round master builder spaces

on the game board, on the chosen location. Only 1 master builder may

be placed on each space.

• Some locations can be occupied by only 1 master builder (for example, Shiring

Castle). Other locations can be occupied by several master builders (for example, the

resource market).

• It costs 7 gold to place the first master builder on the game board. This corresponds

to the position of the cost marker on the cost track.
