Imagine yourself living during Medieval Times, the period of history 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 landowners and you are such a landowner.
The city is a 10x10 square area surrounded by parapets (walls) and towers in the style of an ancient defended city. The occupants farm and work outside the city and at night, or during a threat, they retreated to the safety of the city walls.
The city is cramped and peasants and lords alike squabble amongst each other to find room in the city. Having carved out a space they are not satisfied and continue to take up residence in other unclaimed space available, and so the battle continues.
In this award-winning game of competition and rivalry, victory goes to the player who is best at blocking and out-maneuvering their opponent.
Extra fun if you play Cathedral in pairs and take turns with your moves!!!
