Who it's for

History-minded groups and territory-building fans who like the option to switch between cooperative and competitive play.

Not for you if…

You're not drawn to construction and territory themes β€” the real-world grounding is a highlight only if the setting interests you.

🦊

Vibe's take

Steady and constructive β€” watching the monastery complex take shape piece by piece is satisfying regardless of whether you're racing rivals or building alongside them.

About this game

Campus Galli is built around a real place: a working medieval construction site in Germany where a monastery is being built using genuine 9th-century techniques and the historic St. Gallen plan. You raise the monastery complex either as a team or in competition, choosing which mode fits your table on any given night.
