Description
Get ready to embark on a thrilling adventure in 5th century Ireland with Banish the Snakes, a cooperative game for 1 to 6 players. You'll take on the role of saints, including St. Patrick, working together to convert the pagans of Ireland to Christianity before the barbarians overwhelm Britain. The game is easy to learn, and each turn brings new challenges and events that add a layer of unpredictability to the game. As you navigate the intricate web of influences between the people, druids, chiefs, and kings, you'll need to work strategically to spread your message and overcome the obstacles in your path. With a playtime of 90 to 120 minutes, you'll be fully immersed in the world of ancient Ireland, and the fate of civilization hangs in the balance. Will you succeed in your mission and help the Irish save civilization, or will paganism prevail?
