10 itemsAbout the Game
Monastery Builder is a simulator of life in a medieval monastery. Take up a monk's way of life and see if you can handle the daily challenges that come with it.
Ora et labora - pray and work. These are the main rules that guide the way for each monk. Only so much and so many. If you think it's nothing, then you're in for quite a surprise. Each day is subject to strict organization and there's no time to get bored in your monastery. Complete all tasks in line with this motto, gain new experiences, and become an important 'somebody' in the monastic hierarchy.
Arrange a proper agricultural base. You have to plant cereals that you can use to bake bread and distribute among the poor. It is also important to take proper care of vegetables, fruits, and herbs growing in the monastic gardens. Without them, you won't be able to prepare potions for the sick, or wine for trade. There are plenty of similar challenges ahead.
Grow your monastery. Expand it with more buildings and develop the infrastructure. Medieval monasteries were famous for having exceptionally rich hospitals and educational facilities. They also served as sanctuaries for weary travelers and played a vital role in supplying nearby residential settlements with products. You have to build it all by yourself, so you better get to work!
