About the game
Following an attack by Vikings in 997, players in Kingsbridge: Das Spiel see how the city of Kingsbridge emerges, and with the help of story cards that are laid out in chronological order according to the novel "The Pillars of the Earth", they are also introduced to the English Middle Ages. Character cards with special abilities support this immersion, and the game includes special solo game rules that enable exciting challenges for one player alone.
