About this game

Set in medieval Kingsbridge 200 years after Pillars of the Earth, this Ken Follett adaptation challenges you to manage resources through plague, famine, and political upheaval. World Without End uses a card-driven action system where you play from a hand of cards to build, trade, and survive across four chapters of the story. Events from the novel create narrative drama, and managing grain, wool, and piety requires careful planning. A Euro with genuine literary atmosphere.
