• 7 x Cologne Cathedral Parts
• 7 x Building Advantage Tiles

For 2 to 6 players. Designed for the base game, but adaptable to C&K if desired.

The Original Rules

• Preparation
  Place the cathedral parts and advantage tiles beside the game board.
• Building Cost
  During your build phase you may pay 1 ore, 1 brick and 1 lumber into the bank to receive 1 cathedral part and 1 advantage tile.
• Cathedral Construction start
  • If you are the first to pay this cost, place the cathedral part "A" in front of you, then take one advantage tile of your choice from the stack.
  • You may not choose the "Cathedral Construction Completed" tile as this will always be the last tile to be taken.
• Cathedral Construction continues
  • Build the cathedral from the parts in alphabetical order (diagram supplied).
  • If building take the cathedral and place it in front of you.
  • You can only build one part per turn.
  • When you take your advantage tile, the previous advantage tile held by you or another player is now nullified. It must be turned over and may not be used again during the game. Only the newest tile offers an advantage during play.
• Cathedral Construction completed
  • If you have paid for the final part of the cathedral you take the "Cathedral Construction completed" tile. This tile does not give any advantage
• Cathedral Scoring
  • After the cathedral is constructed, if you have the most advantage tiles you earn 2 victory points.
  • If two players have the same number of tiles then it is the one of them who has the cathedral construction completed tile who takes the 2 victory points.
  • If the person completing the construction does not have the most tiles, or is not one of the people who shares the most number of tiles, then no victory points are granted to anyone.
  • Place the cathedral in front of the person who does gain the 2 Victory Points. While this may give a player enough points to win, they can only declare victory on their turn.

Modification to use with C&K

The building of the Cathedral instructions all remain the same as the base game. The only change is a minor variation to one of the building advantages.

• One advantage card reads "Pay 1 resource less when buying a development card. Choose the card from the top 3 cards in the stack and place the remaining two under the stack."
• This can be changed to be "Immediately take ONE progress card of your choice from the top of either the politics (blue), science (green) or trade (yellow) stacks. You can choose a progress card from any colour and regardless of whether you have a city or whether you have turned over the first level of improvement.  This advantage can only be used once and you must not have more than four prgress cards in your hand at the end of your turn.
