Red Cathedral

Red Cathedral is a strategy board game that has players competing to build sections of St. Basil’s Cathedral and earn the favor of the Tsar.

Players claim cathedral sections, gather resources through a shared rondel, and deliver materials to complete construction before their rivals do. Each turn asks you to balance timing, efficiency, and competition for the best building opportunities, giving the game a focused Euro feel with meaningful player interaction. Decorative touches, endgame timing, and careful resource planning add depth without burying the game in complicated rules.

Designed for 1–4 players, Red Cathedral plays in about 60 minutes and is recommended for ages 10 and up. It is a strong fit for groups looking for a compact strategy game with tactical choices and a clear sense of progression from start to finish. Available now at Boarding School Games—build for the Tsar.
