About this game

Elves gather wood, Dwarves mine stone, and together they build the fantasy city of Belfort. This worker-placement game uses three worker types with different strengths, area majority scoring across city districts, and a guild system that provides unique powers. The tax mechanic penalizes the leader, keeping the game competitive until the end. Belfort blends Euro efficiency with enough interaction and humor to keep everyone engaged.
