Description

In Nehemiah, 2 to 4 players take on the role of Israelite leaders working together to rebuild the Jerusalem wall, a task filled with challenges and opportunities for strategic play. The game is based on a unique worker-placement mechanism, where players place their workers on ever-changing labor cards, trying to utilize their resources in the best way possible. As players activate their workers, they can also trigger other labor cards in the same row, but at a cost of gold, adding a layer of complexity to the game. With its normal complexity rules, fans of board games will have no issue learning and diving into the action. The game is a fast-paced and intense experience, with short turns that keep all players engaged at all times. Designed by Łukasz Woźniak and published in 2014, Nehemiah offers a modular board and auction bidding mechanics, making each playthrough highly variable and exciting. Players must balance their strategies, taking into account the area majority and influence they have on the board, all while navigating the challenges of rebuilding the wall. With two well-polished variants to try, Nehemiah is a great choice for families and Euro game enthusiasts looking for a fun and challenging experience that can be completed in about 45 minutes.
