Fan of the disturbed and intriguing art of Zdzislaw Beksiński? A limited one-time art focussed product has gone live on Gamefound from Board & Dice. Combining Beksiński’s wild brain of vivid landscapes and horrific visions with Eurogame mechanics in Nightmare Cathedral.

Before, we have all been invited to look deeply into the works of Zdzislaw Beksiński. Between 1960-1980, creations of gloomy and disturbing images were born. Across this gothic canvas laid land in decay, an abundance of skellingtons and dark scenes of death. Now, in a very limited run, Board & Dice are interpreting the artwork, moulding the shape of Nightmare Cathedral.

Focusing on Dystopian Surrealism at its core, players will be facing a competitive strategy of taking dominance over the board in a series of resource management, objective meeting, and partake brutal and horrific conflict. As players make their way up the Ritual track, they will be recruiting for their mode of attack and fortifying for any incoming onslaught. This would require a steady footing in the world around, as players explore the wide map to combine strategies and be rewarded victory.

Now, considering the title of the game is named "Nightmare Cathedral", with a name that metal - it deserves a reason why! In the middle of the board throughout gameplay, a cathedral will begin to rear its head. Once this Cathedral has finished growing, players will need to face the horror outpouring. Gaining the ability to control the nightmares that head into the world, unleashing terror on those outsides.
