About the game

What you do in a play session

Guildhall: Job Faire is a card game that blends hand management, set collection, and theft mechanics in a medieval guild setting. Each player runs a guild chapter and recruits skilled workers that, when grouped, generate increasing bonuses. The strategy lies in deciding how many workers to place in each chapter: more workers boost the bonus but also make your workers more valuable to opponents. When a chapter reaches the required number of workers, you can use the complete set to claim victory cards, which score points at the end of the game. Additionally, each player has the option to use special cards that can steal workers from other chapters or prevent opponents from completing their sets, adding a good dose of bargaining and tension. The game is quick, with 30 to 45 minute sessions, and works for 2 to 4 players. Though a standalone title, it integrates seamlessly with Guildhall: Old World Economy, allowing players to combine the two for an even richer experience. If you enjoy blending hand tactics, card collection, and player interaction in a medieval backdrop, Guildhall: Job Faire will delight you with its simplicity and strategic depth.
