Golem ****

Golem is a strategic euro-style board game set in 16th-century Prague, inspired by the Jewish legend of Rabbi Loew and the clay creatures known as golems. Players take the role of scholars who create and control golems to perform tasks, gather resources, and expand their influence throughout the city.

The game features a unique marble-driven action system, where players draft marbles from a central tower to trigger actions such as creating golems, gaining artifacts, studying knowledge, and upgrading abilities. The farther a marble travels along the action tracks, the more powerful the action becomes.

However, players must carefully manage their golems—if they move too far without proper control, they can become dangerous and create problems. Through smart planning, resource management, and strategic timing, players score points by advancing knowledge, building their district, and keeping their golems under control.
