How It Plays

Area Majority / Influence

You're competing to have the most presence in key areas on the board — think of it like a friendly turf war.

Follow

When one player takes an action, others can follow along with a weaker version — piggyback on good moves!

Solo / Solitaire Game

You can play this one all by yourself — perfect for a quiet evening when you want a fun challenge on your own.

Worker Placement

You place your workers on action spaces to claim them before anyone else — it's a scramble for the best spots!

About This Game

Nightmare Cathedral prominently features the haunting artwork by the late polish surrealist painter and sculptor Zdzisław Beksiński. Nightmare Cathedral is a strategy game for 1–4 players, where victory is gained by controlling the map, managing resources, following objectives and selecting when to engage in fast and furious conflicts to gain strategic advantage. Over the course of the game, you will perform actions — and follow the actions of other players — to produce units, build fortifications, maneuver around the map, and spend your followers to climb the ritual track.…
