Gone Cardboard: The Pillars of the Earth: Builders Duel, Coming from Mayfair

Mayfair Games will release Stefan Feld’s The Pillars of the Earth: Builders Duel, an English version of the 2009 Kosmos release Die Säulen Der Erde: Duell der Baumeister, in January 2010. Here’s a brief description of the game from the publisher:

England in the 12th Century. The players take on the roles of Prior Philip and Bishop Waleran. Philip wants to build the most beautiful cathedral in England. Waleran is planning his own project, a mighty fortress.

Both players are trying to simultaneously build their buildings. To construct your building, you must obtain raw resources and convert them into building materials. You are supported by your friends and powerful allies, but are constantly opposed by dangerous foes. If you manage to overcome and build your building first, you win!

Supported by friends and allies, opposed by foes – sounds logical.

The Pillars of the Earth: Builders Duel, which was nominated for the two-player International Gamers Awards in 2009, is for two players only, ages 10 and up, with a playing time of 45 minutes and a retail price of $25. This game has been added to Gone Cardboard.
