Red Cathedral

In Red Cathedral, you take on the role of master builders, commissioned by Tsar Ivan to construct the iconic St. Basil's Cathedral in Moscow. Players must gather resources, manage their influence, and carefully plan their actions around the rondel to contribute to the cathedral's construction. The game centers around strategic resource acquisition and efficient allocation of those resources to complete sections of the cathedral, earning prestige and ultimately claiming victory.

Each round, players navigate a unique rondel to acquire resources like wood, stone, and gold. Skillful resource management and timing are critical, as you compete with other players to claim the most valuable sections of the cathedral. As the cathedral rises, players score points for their contributions and area control. The player who skillfully balances resource acquisition, construction, and influence will emerge as the most esteemed builder in the Tsar's eyes.
