Answer 2

In addition to the two sites given above, note the original Cathedral site below.

Of the versions available I definitely prefer the wooden ones, and find Cathedral World messy (just from the pictures, I don't have it)

The rarest version may be the 1986 one made in plastic by Mattel, but they got the shape of one of pieces wrong!

Cathedral is a superb quick two player game, and a very good introduction for those who think they don't like board-games, or whose aversion to them is condition by long childhood games of Monopoly.

There is a problem though. If you play it a lot, you may discover a forced win for the first player. This can be eliminated, and the game rebalanced, by using the following modification to the opening rules...

Do not place the neutral cathedral piece during setup. Instead, the first player places a piece on the empty board. Then, the second player places both their first piece and the neutral cathedral. Play then continues normally.

This produces a much more balanced and interesting game.
