Cathedral Classic Wooden Strategy Game Full Sized Tabletop Edition

Cathedral Classic
A Medieval Game of Strategy and Skill
A multi-award-winning strategy game that has been a worldwide favorite for over 30 years. Played within a medieval walled city, Cathedral is a top-notch strategic game of power and position where rivals strategically battle to place all of their buildings on the gaming field and lay claim to their territory. Victory is your goal.
Just as it is in a modern metropolis, space is at a premium in the game of Cathedral. This game is a developer’s dream! Cathedral challenges two players to place as many buildings as possible within the walls of a medieval city. There are two sets (light and dark) of hardwood buildings of various sizes. To begin the game, one player places the cathedral on the grid of the walled city. Then the two players vie for the remaining land.
Their goal is to place their buildings while thwarting their opponent’s land-grabbing tendencies. If a player can surround one of his/her opponent’s buildings, that building is removed from the board, and the space is gobbled up by a different building. The game ends up resembling a puzzle that must be thoughtfully pieced together. The winner is the player whose unplaced buildings would occupy the city’s least space. Fans of chess should enjoy exercising their strategizing muscles on this one. The hardwood board measures 9.25 inches square.
