Golem - Board Game (ENG)

Description

It is Prague, 1584. In the dark attic of the synagogue, Rabbi Loew paces nervously back and forth. Stacks of books on his desk, gold melting in the cauldron, and a mass of clay in human form. “Now the last step,” exclaims the rabbi, “because only with a true word will you come alive!” As the word "Truth" is engraved on the clay giant's forehead and the word "God" is put into his mouth, a great silence descends on the room. The eyes open, illuminated by a sinister light, staring at the rabbi's gaze, waiting for his first task.

The legend of the Golem is one of the most fascinating stories in the world and has its roots in Jewish tradition. Golem the board game is a strategic and complex game in which players take on the role of scholars focused on recreating the famous legend.

Use your knowledge (represented by the first letter of the Hebrew alphabet "Aleph") to study traditional books, collect and melt down gold so you can create powerful artifacts, give life to tireless Golems and send them into the city to do important work. You must maintain control of your Golems by using your students and spending the knowledge you gain. You can also choose to kill your Golems to avoid paying for their upkeep.
