[@waddupbro]

This has the make a fence go inside and declare the area on the opposite side the inside vibes

[@MrRyanroberson1]

i think you man make a fence go inside and declare the area on the opposite side the **inside**

[@firelordeliteast6750]

[@allgreatfictions]

I saw this game for the first time years ago, and I've been trying over and over to remember what it's called. Thank you so much!

[@VemKaJogar]

I love this game and already made my handcraft version using foam.

[@LuxisAlukard]

I'll make it in cardboard, just for start.

[@VemKaJogar]

@@LuxisAlukard perfect too.

[@theletteralpha]

ill generate it by paper ig but idk whag its meant to look like

[@jlo9993]

@@theletteralpha Make the buildings be little Tetris pieces, and put them on a similar grid. Make the colours be different from the grid's paper; then just play Cathedral.

[@isaac_aren]

Really seems like the cathedral was an after thought when they needed a creative name for this game

This seems like a great way to introduce people to basic ideas of go...

[@bestaround3323]

Go where?

[@wallridez514]

@@bestaround3323 Go, Weqi or Baduk. It's a board game about placing stones to surround and capture territory, and is a lot of fun, but has a somewhat steep learning curve.

Yes very similar to Go the rules are.

This was so hard to play that the bishop moved to chess.

[@LumiereLaDiDa]

The most underrated comment. You’re after my own nerdy heart, GavinMFR. But I do hope it’s not actually difficult to play lol

[@danilopablo9848]

I was expecting "the rules are the same as regular chess, except for these changes"

[@durgun8247]

I remember when I was younger my older brother would say that I couldn't claim a territory because the buildings that did enclose it according to the rules weren't physically touching, and I believed him being the gullible child I was lol

[@davidkoehler3265]

Thank you for this! The game instructions in the box are not very clear. You’d think for a simple game they could write good instructions.

[@zwiesinn]

The rules are the same as chess except for these changes

[@youuuuuuuuuuutube]

Same as REGULAR Chess.

[@DiehardMechWarrior]

Ok…but are en passant and castling allowed, though?

[@DonatoMaster10]

Yes

Go, Tetris edition.

I played Tetris and nothing ever resembled that. Go, I agree more.

[@ahmadfahadhilyas]

@@deedeeen tetris edition because they look like tetris pieces...

[@brightlight7538]

I can't belive he didn't say "cathedral, the rules are as same as regular chess except of these few changes...."

[@flordelphinta]

cant you like make a territory using an "L" piece on first move? Or did I miss something?

[@anoobyproaz5616]

0:36 "Except for each player's first turn of the game, after you place a building, you are allowed to claim territory."

[@flordelphinta]

@@anoobyproaz5616 then cant the 1st player claim on 2nd move? Just place the smallest block then the opponent, then put an L piece on any corner, claim and remove opponent. Then the opponent will do the same on the next game. So unless there is a rule that states you need 3 or more blocks to claim, this game is cheeseable.

[@danholmesfilm]

@@flordelphinta not if the opponents piece AND the cathedral are both in the "claimed" space

[@SgtSupaman]

You probably can do something like that, but it doesn't gain you much. Territory is only good in that it provides space for you to play out more of your pieces at the end. An area that small will only let you play your smallest buildings (if you haven't already played them). Maybe useful if you think the final score will come down to one or two points, but that seems like a bit of a defeatist mindset to have at the start of a round.

[@ninhassle]

Is there an online version of this game? Or an app maybe

[@kokoymustlive2006]

scramble word 2 by lignuisystems please..

[@potatoheadpokemario1931]

I remember playing this once, but my set was plastic

[@kirakelvinart2169]

This game sounds fun

[@goldend791]

If you are the first to go and your opponent has more squares than you have after placing the single building, you take out the cathedral and declare the whole board as your territory

[@purplenickname]

So, what stops the first player from capturing the entire board? If there's no limit to how big of an enclosed area they can claim they can just claim everything since only the cathedral is there at the start.

[@croma2068]

That's what the first turn clause is for - you can't capture any spaces on your first turn.

[@hatTtop]

Is en pa-ss-ant allowed?

[@cheekibreeki904]

It's "en passant". Also, no.

[@thomaslwin8588]

Why does this only have 731 likes?

[@Duckman1616]

So, it's like blockus then. But probably like 5 times the cost.

[@goofygoober917]

Imagine being friends with this guy

[@thebe_stone]

what's keeping someone from just going in the corner, and claiming the entire board?

[@beeholland5946]

It can’t be claimed on turn 1, so player 2 will then place a piece, meaning that there will be a cathedral and an opponent piece, so no territory

[@janewan1196]

it seems to be a mix of go and blockus

[@MartiLike]

So basically this is GO

[@Closer2Zero]

Its basically Yugioh Dungeon Dice Monsters

[@Edos512]

I had this a long time ago.

[@chazgervais4605]

So... Blockus but with too many rules?

[@CSmyth-]

So... Go? This is Go, right?

[@ernstkramer3040]

It is very like the high series Go game from the east of asian.
