Turn an ancient monastery plan into a thriving medieval community.
A historically inspired building game with solo, cooperative and competitive play.
Plan, build and complete a medieval monastery across three progressively challenging levels.
Product Description
Inspired by the Plan of St. Gall and the real Campus Galli construction site in Meßkirch, this historical strategy game invites you to bring a medieval monastery to life.
Choose action cards, place building sections and complete daily tasks as temporary wooden structures gradually become finished stone buildings. Careful placement earns points, while gaps in your construction may leave you with lazy monks.
The game develops across three levels. Begin by constructing the monastery, then welcome guests and produce books before facing fires, accidents, epidemics and other dangers. Play alone, work together cooperatively or compete to finish with the highest score.
