Tim & Alex pulled an old copy of Cathedral by Mattel off the shelf at game night recently. They enjoyed the the very satisfying aesthetics of this classic as they strategized in this abstract city-builder. What are your favorite classic tabletop games? #WhatDidYouPlayMondays

Cthulhu Fluxx might be my favorite theme. It really shows off the flexibility of the core Fluxx engine with the doom mechanism and the secret cultist, giving it a little flavor of cooperation and betrayal.
