The Chronicle awaits

Castles & Cathedrals

A strategic medieval empire builder driven by a living Chronicle Deck. A new realm, a new Age, a new Lord. No two chronicles alike.

2 to 4 players. Solo against the Adversary, hot-seat on one device, or async online with a shareable invite link. Free, no account needed.

How a chronicle unfolds

An irregular province map, generated fresh from a seed. No two realms alike.

The Saga sets the Age. Draft a Lord. Take two secret Quests to chase.

III

Harvest, claim, castle, raise cathedrals, brave d20 Ventures. First past the crown's threshold wins.

One hundred cards

The Age you play in. One rule that bends the whole game.

Your house's edge, drafted at the start and yours alone.

Secret ambitions. Two in hand, both scoring, hidden to the end.

A new turn of fortune every round, ruling the whole table.

Folklore made flesh, squatting the realm until someone pays.

The box is a platform. Every expansion is a pure card pack that slots into the five types with zero new rules.
