Imagine yourself living during
Medieval Times, the period referred to as the Middle Ages. The Roman
Empire had recently collapsed and the Renaissance era had not yet begun.
Medieval towns cropped up throughout Western Europe. The Cathedral,
a place of sanctuary and worship, was the focal point of the city and
located in the center of town. Shops and various trading stores
surrounded the Cathedral, while residents and shop keepers lived within
the stone walls which formed the town boundary. What went on within these
walls was dictated by rich and powerful landowner.
In the game of
Cathedral, you are such a landowner. The playing board represents
the site of the walled city. Two sets of playing pieces symbolize both
the buildings and the two opposing forces who battle to gain control
by strategically positioning their building pieces back on the board.
In
this award-winning game of competition and rivalry, victory goes to the
player who is best at blocking and out-maneuvering their opponent.
