Description Edit | History

In Master Builder, the players are builders in a small town (represented by 3D cardboard buildings). They try to acquire building contracts, which they then attempt to complete.

The contracts are gained by bidding on them. After that, they buildings must be constructed using workers. Each worker has his own specialty, and you'll need several different workers to complete a building.
Initially, players hire these workers to complete the buildings. Later, these workers can leave them again, sometimes because they have been lured away by other players.

Master Builder is #4 in the Valley Games Modern Line.
