02/28/2024 “Renegade Games are thrilled to announce the opening of pre-orders for Ezra and Nehemiah, the latest addition to the world of thematic strategy gaming from Garphill Games.”
“Ezra and Nehemiah” beckons 1-4 players to the ancient city of Jerusalem, tasking them with constructing the temple, fortifying city walls, and sharing the wisdom of the Torah with returning exiles. Beyond the city, players can expand lands, embark on journeys, or tend to the sacred altar’s flame. Guided by prophets Haggai and Zechariah, players utilize cards, workers, and resources over three weeks, contributing to the city’s revival. The game concludes after the third Sabbath, offering a unique blend of strategy and historical immersion.
From game designers Shem Philips and S.J. Macdonald, renowned for their work on the West Kingdom and South Tigris series, Ezra and Nehemiah promises an immersive and historically rich experience that lives up to the quality players have come to expect from this team.
