The Tournalux model with all its buildings, is constructed of natural and stained New Zealand native White Tawa wood with a lacquer finish. The playing surface is made from Plantation Pine.
Identical to the classic edition except with larger dimensions. In 1962 Robert Moore, a young pilot in the Royal New Zealand Air Force at Wigram Airbase in Christchurch, was flying a training mission over the city and used the Cathedral in the centre square as a landmark. Some years later the vision of the Cathedral and the toy-like buildings surrounding it gave birth to the game.
Cathedral is based on the concept of a Mediaeval city surrounded by a wall. The limited space makes the two factions, light and dark, struggle to gain power in the city.
The Cathedral is the focal point that mediates in the struggle and thus prevents one side from becoming to powerful.
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!!!
