Description

The First Jihad: The Rise of Islam 632-750 is a solo board game that drops you into the midst of a pivotal moment in history, where you'll guide the early Islamic caliphates to expand their influence across the medieval world. With a playtime of 30 to 120 minutes, you'll have the flexibility to dive in for a quick session or immerse yourself in a longer campaign. The game mechanics are a bit complex, but once you get the hang of them, you'll be rolling dice, playing battle cards, and navigating events to outmaneuver your opponents. As a solo experience, you'll be fully engaged in the simulation, working to spread Islamic influence and manage the challenges that come with it. With its unique blend of area majority, dice rolling, and card-driven action, this 2020 release from designers Wes Erni and Ben Madison offers a challenging and rewarding experience for fans of wargames and medieval history.
