You are a great master builder in the Middle Ages. You employ master
craftsmen, foremen, tradesmen and apprentices. You bid on building
contracts and with your workforce construct buildings. Upon completing
each building you receive money so you can pay wages and possibly take on
extra workers. Unforeseen events such as town fairs, fires and higher
wages in other cities can make managing your projects very difficult.
Also, not all workers are as committed to their jobs as others and some
may just not show up for work simply because they were out late the
evening before. All this could result in you having to deal with higher
costs, late completions of your building projects or the need to dismiss
workers.
In the course of the game beautiful buildings will be
created and at the end a medieval city will stand in the middle of the
table — complete with city walls, fortified towers, city gates, houses and
a town hall.
Your aim is to become the greatest and most famous
master builder of the Middle Ages. Of course, your opponents will have the
same aim so a lively contest will develop for supremacy in the building
trade. The winner will be the player who has the most money at the end of
the game.
Master Builder is a game for 2 to 4 players aged 10 and
up and takes approximately 60 minutes to play.
