Ezra and Nehemiah

In Ezra and Nehemiah, players travel to ancient Jerusalem to help rebuild the city by constructing the temple, strengthening the city walls, and teaching the Torah to the returning exiles. This thematic strategy game is played over three rounds, where players deploy workers, play cards, and gather resources to restore Jerusalem. Players will also develop their land, explore settlements beyond the city walls, and keep the altar’s fire burning. Each round represents a week of activity, with six days dedicated to work and a Sabbath day of rest. After the third Sabbath, the game concludes, and the player with the most points is declared the winner.
