Cathedral
In Cathedral, each player has a set of pieces of a different color. The pieces are in the shapes of buildings, covering from one to five square units. The first player takes the single neutral Cathedral piece and places it onto the board. Players then alternate placing one of their buildings onto the board until neither player can place another building. Players capture territory by surrounding areas that are occupied by at most one opponent or neutral building. A captured piece is removed and captured territory becomes off-limits to the opponent. The player with the fewest 'square units' of buildings that can't be placed wins.

Good strategic game, similar in mechanics to go, but with a set of pieces with different sizes and shapes
Regalado por Kantabricus en julio de 2010, en un día de visita a Puente Arce. Es un abstracto para dos en el que cada jugador debe deshacerse de sus edificios colocándolos en el tablero. Cada edificio ocupa un área diferente.. el tablero es de 10x10. Si encierra un edificio del contrario, dicho edificio es eliminado del tablero. Además, no se puede colocar edificios en áreas encerradas por el contrincante. La partida finaliza cuando alguien coloca todos sus edificios, o ninguno de los contrincantes puede colocar ninguno. En tal caso, gana quien conserva la menor superficie de edificios en su
Edición de madera, es sencillo pero entretenido. Para 2 jugadores. Colocas la catedral en medio y tines que cerrar zonas del tablero con tu color. Ambos jugadores tienen las mismas piezas de distintas formas, y es una carrera a lo puzle/tetris por ver quien cierra antes y quien coloca más piezas que el contrario.
[b]Primera partida[/b] (6/10) Interesante abstracto
