AEG Announces Guildhall

Oct 25, 2012

Our friends at AEG promised a surprise game release at this year’s Essen and they didn’t disappoint. Now Guildhall will soon be on store shelves as two to four players will compete to recruit members to their guildhall to claim victory!

From AEG:

With rich colors and expressive art, the professions of Guildhall have interlocking mechanics that test your ability to think ahead and put your kingdom in the lead.

The goal of the game is to gather professionals of 5 different colors in your guild hall to form chapters. Use completed chapters to buy Victory Points. Each professional also has abilities to help you gather more professionals, and slow other players’ progress.

Guildhall is a card game for 2-4 players with intricate play using a simple set of cards.

Gather medieval professionals into your guildhall. The more members of one profession you collect into a chapter, the more powerful they become. When you collect five of one kind, they band together to claim victory!

With colorful art, easy rules, and icon-driven game play, Guildhall is a perfect game for both dedicated gamers and new players!

Set in medieval Europe, the first set of Guildhall has 6 professions. Each profession has an ability that changes the game. The ability grows stronger based on the number of professionals of one type that you already have in your hall.

Assassin: Kill a professional in someone else’s hall.

Dancer: Draw cards. Take another action.

Farmer: Earn victory points.

Historian: Bring a professional back to your hall from the discard pile.

Trader: Trade cards between your hall and another player’s hall.

Weaver: Place cards from your hand straight into your hall.
