Ezra and Nehemiah

Rebuild the walls and temple for the returning exiles of ancient Jerusalem. 

Ancient Jerusalem Awaits! Ezra and Nehemiah is a thematic strategy game for 1-4 players, set in ancient Jerusalem. Players will be building the temple and city walls, and teaching the Torah to returning exiles. Players may also seek to develop their land, travel to settlements outside the city walls, or stoke the altar's fire to keep it burning day and night. The prophets, Haggai and Zechariah will be doing their part to keep the people focused on what is most important.

Over three weeks (rounds), players will be using their hand of cards, workers, and resources to do their part in rebuilding the great city of Jerusalem. After six days of work, there will be a Sabbath day of rest. Food will be needed, and the week's work will be reflected upon. The game will end after the third Sabbath has been completed.
