Description

Judean Hammer is a thrilling wargame that drops you into the midst of a tense struggle between the Maccabeans and the Seleucid Greeks. Designed by Robin David and published in 2021, this game is easy to learn and plays out over 60 to 90 minutes for 2 players. You'll take on the role of one of these ancient factions, vying for control of critical cities in the region, with Jerusalem being the ultimate prize. As you navigate the game, you'll use a combination of area movement, dice rolling, and event cards to outmaneuver your opponent. With a single deck of cards, you'll need to make tough decisions about when to play special ability cards, which can give you an edge but also weaken your position in combat. Will you push for an early advantage or bide your time and strike at the end to steal the win? The choice is yours in Judean Hammer, a game of strategy and skill that's sure to keep you on the edge of your seat.
