Golem

The legend of the Golem is one of the most fascinating stories in the world and has its roots in Jewish tradition. In Golem, this story inspires a complex and strategic game where you take on the role of a scholar trying to recreate the famous clay automatons.

Use your Knowledge (represented by the first letter of the Hebrew alphabet, “Aleph”) to study ancient Books, obtain Gold and melt it down to create powerful Artifacts, bring tireless Golems to life and send them to the city to perform important works. You will have to maintain control of your Golems by spending the Knowledge you have acquired and through your Pupils. You also have the option of killing your Golems so you don't have to pay their upkeep cost.

The 3D Synagogue brings an element of dynamic randomness to the available actions, Golem management introduces an intriguing innovation in worker placement, and the player board can be developed in numerous ways to offer a wide variety of possible strategies.
