Description
The Ark of the Covenant is a fun and strategic board game where 2 to 5 players compete to control cities, roads, flocks, and temples. With easy-to-learn rules, this 30-minute game is perfect for a quick gaming session. Players use tiles to create a dynamic play area and place followers to gain influence over different territories. As players build their territories, they can use special features like oases to boost their scores and prophets to double their points. The game also introduces a new scoring mechanism for temples and allows players to move the Ark to award points to their followers. With its simple yet engaging gameplay, The Ark of the Covenant is a great addition to any game collection, and its lack of necessary in-game text makes it accessible to players of all languages.
