Example: The woodworker, which the players begin the game with, can
convert 2 wood into 1 victory point. His capacity is 4; that is, p1-he can convert
at most 8 wood into 4 victory points per round.
• As the game progresses, better craftsmen appear, who can convert
the building resources more efficiently and/or with a higher output
capacity.
Example: At the beginning, players have a
stonecutter, who requires 2 stone to create 1
victory point. A mason requires only 1 stone for 1
victory point, and a sculptor can convert 1 stone
into 2 victory points.
In addition to the normal craftsmen who convert building resources into victory points,
there are several special craftsmen who can also only be used at the end of a round:
• The goldsmith converts 3 gold into 1 victory point.
Example: When using the goldsmith, a player moves his or her wealth
marker back 12 fields and receives 4 victory points.
• The architect provides 1 victory point.
Tip: For this, p1-he doesn’t need any building resources. He occupies a place in
the craftsman row, though, on which another craftsman might be able to earn
more victory points.
• The tool maker provides 2 gold, as long as the player has metal in his
or her supply. The metal is not used up by this (and therefore is not
returned to the general supply).
Tip: The player can first use the metal for the toolmaker and then use it for
another craftsman to make something (and return it to the supply).
• The master woodworker can turn 1 wood into 4 gold. He can only do
this at most twice per round, so can turn at most 2 wood into 8 gold.
The wood is used up in this process.
• The bell maker, the glassblower, and
the organ builder require metal as their
consumable building resource. The metal is
used up in these conversions. The glassblower
and the organ builder also need sand or wood.
Craftsmen Requirements
The three types of craftsmen who the players begin with are not as good at converting
building resources into victory points as the craftsmen who will build the cathedral
later in the game. Because each player can only employ 5 craftsmen, they are often
exchanged for other craftsmen. They do have important special functions:
a Without a mortar mixer, a player cannot earn any victory points with a mason.
a Without a stonecutter, a player cannot sell stone in the resource market.
a Without a woodworker, a player cannot buy wood in the resource market.
Tip: Players should consider which craftsman to get rid of very carefully when making room
for better craftsmen.
THE ADVANTAGE CARDS
The advantage cards that players receive in Kingsbridge are, in general,
self-explanatory. There are three types:
• Cards that apply for the remainder of the game; that is, in perpetuity.
These cards represent patrons who support the player; for example, “Each
round, you receive 1 additional wood production”. They are placed in
ready view in front of their owners until the end of the game.
• Cards that are used once at the owner’s discretion; for example, “In
any one round of your choice, you pay no taxes ...”. They are placed in
ready view in front of their owners until they are used. Then they are
removed from the game.
• Cards that are used once and immediately; for example, “You
immediately receive 8 gold”. These cards are removed from the game as
soon as they are used.
Important: Before the final (sixth) round, the 2 advantage
cards for this round are placed in Kingsbridge: “You
immediately receive 1 metal” and “You immediately receive
1 stone and 1 wood.”
The cathedral is
nearly complete!
You immediately
receive 1 stone
and 1 wood.
The King arrives at
the ceremony!
You immediately
receive 1 metal.

GAME RULES
England, at the start of the 12th century — Prior Philip of Kingsbridge has an ambitious dream.
He wants to build the largest and most beautiful cathedral in the country. To do this, he needs
experienced master builders, played by you. You will work together on the monumental building, each
using your own workers and competing to make the largest contribution to the cathedral’s construction. You
must employ and manage skilled craftsmen. Your hired workers will source the necessary building resources
— stone, wood, and sand. What’s missing can be bought in the builders’ resource market, but for high prices.
As master builders, you will have to worry about more than just the construction of the cathedral.
The King will levy special taxes on a whim. Your plans may fall apart if you run out of gold. It’s a good idea to
periodically beg for the King’s favor. Maybe he will be in a generous mood and let you have some desperately
needed metal. An audience with the Archbishop might also be helpful, as it offers protection from more powerful
forces that manifest in unexpected events. Sometimes Fate will be kind to you, but sometimes it will hinder your
progress. You may also have to appeal to influential people to support your plans.
By the end, the glorious building — The Pillars of the Earth — will reach up to the Heavens. Who has
contributed the most to it and who has earned the most fame? The player who has used his or her gold, craftsmen,
and time most efficiently will be the winner.
For 2–4 Builders, Ages 12 and Up
