Catacombs Cubes is a new game which is set in the universe of Cimathue (from Catacombs). In this game, players strive to complete buildings found on their blueprints – the end goal being the completion of construction in the Village of Stormtryne.
There is a Planning board which is placed in the center of the table. Around the edge is a score track. Below this is where the Village tiles can be found – these show different buildings which can by built. Then, at the bottom, you’ll find a Palace tile and an area for the players to jointly build this particular Palace. There is a secondary score track in the center of the Planning board where players track their contributions to the particular palace. Finally, the town hall tile is placed on the table – it serves as the starting point for all building in the Village. There is a Quarry board, which is also set aside, to be used later.
Brandon Kempf – Surviving the Purge 11
Over the next few months, instead of going with my Three Games articles, I am going to take a look at my collection and try to discuss why certain titles survived the great purge of 2019. During this process I may take a look at some games that didn’t survive, but only as a measuring stick for what did survive. Since I am silly, like a lot of gamers, I use Ikea Kallax shelves to display the games that we own. This makes it pretty easy to break things down cube by cube, so that’s what we’re going to do, twenty-four cubes, plus a top shelf for games that don’t fit in the cubes, over the course of a few months. I hope you enjoy!
