For players not satisfied with the possibility of playing Pillars of the Earth with two, there now is a card game on the subject solely for two players - maybe this exclusivity helps them to accept a superb game; yes, again on a successful book. One player tries to erect a cathedral, while the other is in charge of building a fortress, an element that also seems to be part of the book; the one who succeeds first in erecting his building has won the game. Each of the two buildings consists of three sections/cards; each of those sections require a different combination of materials. Action cards enable players to get to construction materials; other action cards upgrade these materials, such as iron into bells, sand into cement or wool into cloth.
