Cathedral is a subtle game of strategy that challenges two players to place as many buildings as possible within the walls of a medieval city. The object of the game is to thoughtfully place your own buildings in the city while preventing your opponent from acquiring the land first. Now, our lawyers won’t let us say that playing Cathedral will turn you into a spatial savant capable of designing entire metropolises over a three-day weekend. But we are allowed to say that this strategic, puzzle-like game will help improve your spatial intelligence under the guise of having fun.

Brain Health Expert Says:

"Use your left brain logic with spatial and strategic skills during game play to enhance and improve spatial intelligence. "

How to Play:

The first player starts the game by placing the grey Cathedral piece anywhere along the square grid on the board.  After that, players take turns placing their building pieces onto the grid.  If one player's piece is isolated; completely walled off, it's given back to the player.  The space that the piece was occupying now belongs to the player who walled it off and can only be used by them.  Eventually, players will run out of room to place their buildings.  If a piece is touching another piece of the same color, or the Cathedral piece, it is safe from being removed from the board.  

How to Win:

The game ends when players run out of possible places to play their pieces. The player with the fewest squares in their remaining pieces (or no pieces) at the end of the game is the winner.
