I am a fan of Cathedral in a number of forms; plastic with detail, wooden with no detail... but this was really something new. The Cathedral itself is replaced by a black piece with 'all the peoples of the planet' represented. The remaining buildings, split into two teams of global landmarks, are really something to behold. From the Great Pyramid to the Statue of Libery, Big Ben to the Taj Mahal... all in miniature scale. The game is the same, rules identical, strategies all in line... so if you have played any Cathedral, you'll enjoy the novel twist to a favourite game the new buildings lend. Overall, an excellent upgrade for the dedicated player. :) |
