Cathedral Online

| Comments (0)
A few years ago, I was addicted to this board game called Cathedral. It's your typical "minutes to learn, a lifetime to master" kind of game. I went looking for a software version of it (so I could play it when I couldn't find a partner, which was often), and thanks to the Wayback Machine, I was able to salvage the Java class files from a version some guy wrote and posted to his web site, and then subsequently deleted (no doubt in response to some lawyer's cease and desist orders).

Well, that was back in '02, and I put it up on my site and promptly forgot it was there. Until today. If you're a Cathedral veteran, you won't like it much because it doesn't quite follow the rules. But if you're jonesin' for a game, and don't mind the computer cheating, here you go. If you're a newbie to the game, you probably won't want to play this version due to the cumbersome user interface on this Java applet. In which case, you should go buy the game, and then harass your friends and family into playing with you, like I did.
