Description
The Mission: Early Christianity from the Crucifixion to the Crusades is a solo game that takes you on a journey through 1,200 years of Christian history. You'll spread the Christian faith across the ancient Mediterranean, Near East, Europe, and Africa, while navigating the complexities of empires, politics, and doctrine. With each turn covering decades, you'll build institutions to educate, heal, and inspire societies, and rely on apostles, theologians, and Christian kingdoms to establish and defend the faith. As you play, you'll face challenges from heresies, schisms, barbarian hordes, and the armies of Islam, making this a game of strategic decision-making and resource management. With its unique blend of area majority, influence, and simulation mechanics, The Mission offers a thrilling and thought-provoking experience for gamers of all levels. Can you build a strong, united, and prosperous Christendom, or will the forces of history work against you?
