Ezra and Nehemiah
Players: 1-4
Time: 90 – 120 min
Interaction: Competitive
Audience: Hardcore
Ezra and Nehemiah is one more classical story brought to the table by Garphill Games. Take the role of a high priest just after the Persian king, Cyrus, has allowed the Israelites to return to Jerusalem. This is a biblical deep cut and has all the thematic turns you’d expect from an old Bible story. Players earn points by building the temple, rebuilding the city walls and gates, and teaching the Torah to the returning exiles. They 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 show up too!
