7 itemsAbout the Game
Tsar Ivan the Terrible has ordered the construction of a cathedral in honor of his military victories. Many teams of builders will take part in the construction, but only one of them will stand out and gain the favor of the Tsar!
The Red Cathedral: Digital Edition is a faithful adaptation of the acclaimed board game. It is a game of strategy and resource management, where you take on the role of a team of architects charged with building the cathedral. You will compete to build different parts of the monument that you will previously claim. You will search for and manage materials that you will later use to build and decorate. You must take into account the influence of the clergy and the different guilds of the city to stand out from the rest and win the favor of the Tsar. Upon completion of the cathedral, the player who has gained the most prestige will be the winner!
