A cart-racing delivery game across real medieval Cologne, where blocking your rivals' path matters as much as hauling stone.
Who it's for
Groups who enjoy pick-up-and-deliver games with a physical, blocking edge, and anyone drawn to historical city-building themes.
Not for you if…
You dislike randomness deciding your resource supply or want a purely strategic route-planning game without direct blocking.
Vibe's take
Lively and a bit scrappy – dice decide what's available, but the real fight happens on the map as carts jostle for position and shortcuts.
The Master Builders of Cologne puts you in charge of hauling stone through the medieval streets of Cologne to raise the city's twelve great Romanesque churches. Each turn a dice roll decides which stone arrives at which gate, and you race your carts through the crowded map to deliver the most valuable loads before your rivals block the way.
