	Description Edit \| History

King Solomon presided over a golden age of peace and prosperity in ancient Israel. During this time Solomon instituted an unprecedented building program. As one of Solomon's chief governors, you must procure materials and oversee construction of buildings and roads across the land for the glory of Solomon. You will also help to construct the Temple, one of the wonders of the ancient world.

Kingdom of Solomon is a worker-placement game with a few new twists and turns. Do you claim a resource space, an action space or throw in all your remaining pawns to grab a powerful Bonus Space? Will you spend your resources to extend Solomon's kingdom, take some points in the Market or add to the Temple? These and many other choices await you in this highly interactive game.

ERulebook Kingdom of Solomon

Included in the zip archive is an EPUB and MOBI format of the Kingdom of Solomon rulebook, version 2. The images and layout were optimized for my Kobo, but should look okay for other readers. The Mobi was converted from the EPUB via calibre. I do not have a Kindle and haven't verified how it looks. Thank you to James Mathe at Minion Games for allowing me to post this here.

Cartas de Suertes - Traducción al Español

Aunque la mayoría de las cartas tienen símbolos alguna de ellas tiene texto. Esta traducción permite que quienes no dominen el inglés puedan jugar a Kingdom of Solomon sin revelar las cartas que tienen en su poder. I've translated the Fortune Cards to able non english speaking people know how every card works without reveal the text of his cards. (All the other english text on board and Building Cards are open)
