Dancing with the tsars.

Red Cathedral made a well deserved splash on release but for some reason seemed to fizzle out relatively quickly. Now that there is a bit more wind in its sails due to the movers and shakers at SUSD, good luck finding a copy for the next while. This is a euro gamers "Curious Cargo" - a deceptively large and engaging experience in a diminutive box, coupled with a great price and good components. If you currently find yourself left out in the cold, maybe next time you'll re-evaluate your criteria of what is worth jumping in on before someone influential validates its goodness. This one is really a slam-dunk if you are a fan of the genre.

6 stars outta 5 ! This game are AMAZING!

Beyond the box which is perhaps not so attractive there is an excellent game. you play as architects who get contracts to deliver the resources and contribute to the construction of the cathedral. An original dice mechanics as well as combos will allow you to achieve your goals. The game is relatively simple, while being strategic. the abundance of cards, as well as advanced boards make it a game with high replayability. We had a huge crush from the first game. I highly recommend this game. It goes straight to my collection!
