Description

When the West Came East is a solitaire wargame that drops you into the midst of the First Crusade, where you'll take on the role of the Crusader armies. Your goal is simple yet challenging: conquer as many areas of the map as possible and ultimately claim Jerusalem as your own. With easy-to-learn rules, you'll be immersed in the medieval world in no time, navigating the complexities of area movement and dice rolling to outmaneuver your foes. As a solo game, you'll have 60 minutes to test your strategic mettle and emerge victorious. As you play, you'll need to balance your thirst for conquest with the risk of casualties, as the end game tally will reward you for areas controlled while penalizing you for losses. Designed by Neil Zimmerer and first published in 2011, When the West Came East offers a unique and engaging gaming experience that's both fun and historically inspired. Whether you're a fan of medieval history or just looking for a compelling solo game, When the West Came East is sure to deliver. And with its availability as a standalone game or as part of a low-priced "DoublePack" with another Zimmerer design, there's never been a better time to join the crusade and see what the game has in store for you.
