Ierusalem: Anno Domini

The evangelists report that many other people were present at the Last Supper in addition to Jesus and his apostles. It is assumed that some of them were in the same room and the others were spread around the house. Just a few days earlier, Jesus had entered Jerusalem surrounded by a large crowd and many disciples went to the dining hall on Mount Zion to celebrate the Passover, the highest festival in Judaism.

In Ierusalem, Anno Domini, you represent various communities of Jesus' disciples who have come to Jerusalem from the surrounding villages and towns. They want to take part in the Last Supper and sit as close as possible to Jesus and his apostles. To do this, you play cards and collect resources.
Your aim is to send as many of your own disciples as possible to the Last Supper. The closer they are to Jesus and his apostles, the more points you will receive at the end of the game.

The most important element of this game are the cards and the order in which you play them. Each card shows the symbol of one of five locations in and around Jerusalem in the top left-hand corner. By playing the cards, you form sets of these symbols. With the right sets, you can place apostles at the table of the Last Supper. This also gives you advantages. At the same time, you also want to plan the actions that the cards allow you to take so that you can collect the right resources at the right time and send your disciples to the Last Supper.

What makes the game special / Why is it published by Strohmann Games:

The religious theme is approached historically here and manages the difficult balancing act: it is in no way "missionary", but does not offend religious feelings either. The game is designed to embed a gaming experience in a story that we all know, and the connection that everyone has with the theme is their own personal thing.

The theme is wonderfully woven into the game and is permanently present in many of its components. But Ierusalem: Anno Domini also has a lot to offer in terms of gameplay. We control our actions via a card mechanism and gradually try to place our disciples at the Last Supper to score points. At this point at the latest, the game also includes a good deal of interaction.

Important notes: Caution! Not suitable for children under 36 months.
