The Builders, Middle Ages
Click to see a walk-through of how to play and review from Grey Elephant
We're playing The Builders for our first in-store Game Night.  It's one of those great strategic-thinking resource-management games.  But it's faster to play than some of the others.  It's also is very nicely designed for playability. 

Here's the description from the manufacturer:
"Recruit workers and create buildings to prove that you are the greatest builder. You'll have to start small, with cottages and stables, but you'll be building your name as you build your masterpieces, and before long, you'll complete the cathedral!

Hire worker cards, pay them to build your buildings, and balance your income with your expenses. You can't do everything on your turn - but you'll want to! From wells and shacks to castles and churches, use your resources to create structures that will stand the test of time."

Play time for a full game is about 30 minutes, and it's best for 2 - 4 players ages 10 and up.
