Basilica is a two-player tile-laying game set in medieval Florence and offering plenty of interaction with other players. The game has easy-to-learn rules.
In this game, players take on the role of competing architects who oversee the construction of a beautiful cathedral. Each turn they place tiles to enlarge the cathedral and create areas of one color, while placing construction pawns to gain advantages and control areas. In addition, players perform commands to move or remove builders, increase skills, block spaces or demolish previously built cathedral parts. There are four tile colors in the game. The players' goal is to create the largest possible areas representing a single color and to have more pawns in these areas than their opponent.
Basilica, designed by Łukasz M. Pogoda, was first published in 2010 and further developed by the expansion Festum Fatuorum in 2012. The new edition from Portal Games includes the base game with a revamped game board, premium custom-made wooden pawns with medieval characters , and the expansion, which offers players a premium full-game experience.
