Query: not good

A substitute for this game at half the price is called blokus. Ok, it may not be exactly like Cathedral, but the skills and strategy required are the same.The look of Cathedral is definately impressive.... but that is the end of it. It is quite bulky to store and heavy (all pices are made of wood) they look nice, but they are too big. This is important when a child is trying to look over the buildings in order to see the full distribution the board.If you've bought cathedral to leave it in your living room as a coffee table game and let it sit there for ever, then you will enjoy this game, since it looks nice and it's not a chess board.If you are still interested in cathedral, then try the blokus online version to see if you like it before buying it.I like Reversi (othello), mancala and backgamon, chess, but this game I did not enjoy that much. Therefore Fun factor is 2 out of 5.
