Nightmare Cathedral

Delve into a land of nightmares, where players compete to control the map, manage resources, pursue objectives, and gain strategic advantage through fast conflicts. Players produce units, build fortifications, maneuver across the board, and spend followers to advance along the ritual track while a haunting Cathedral grows at the center. Once the Cathedral is completed, powerful Nightmares enter the board and devour units in their path. Players can also command these beings, turning their destructive presence to their own advantage. Action cards allow players to perform actions on their turns or react to other players’ choices, with the game ending when time runs out, the ritual is completed, or enough units have been devoured. The game features artwork by Polish surrealist artist Zdzisław Beksiński.
