About the game
The Builder is a new Action card for Jerusalem. Just add the card to the basic Action card deck to play with it. When you play this Action card, place it under one of your squire who's inside one area of the game board. That Squire will have a Horse for the rest of the game. After the first step of phase 3 (The Tower of David), the Squire with the Horse may be moved anywhere on the game board (with the exception of blocked areas by Barons). Note 1: If an opponent plays "Turncoat", the opponent takes also the Horse! Note 2: If that squire is removed from the game after a War event or he's killed (the new Assassin card), the card is removed too.

Questions and answers
Jerusalem: The Horse supports 2–4 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Jerusalem: The Horse is 90 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Jerusalem: The Horse for ages 12 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Jerusalem: The Horse belongs to these categories: Medieval and Expansion for Base-game. Its main mechanics are Auction / Bidding and Area Majority / Influence. Categories describe the theme and setting of a game, while mechanics describe what players actually do on their turns. Each mechanic links to a catalogue hub with similar games, which helps when you want something comparable.
The credited designers of Jerusalem: The Horse are: Michele Mura. These credits come from the published game data and name the people responsible for the game’s design, not its illustrators or publishers. Designer pages on MeepleRules collect other titles by the same designers, which helps when you enjoy a game and want to find similar ones.
The catalogue lists Jerusalem: The Horse as an expansion for Jerusalem. Expansions add new content, rules or scenarios to the base game and usually cannot be played on their own, so you need Jerusalem to use it. Check that your edition of Jerusalem is compatible, as some expansions were revised between editions.
