The Bible contains various prophecies about the final days, describing how the armies of the World will fight the final battle and that without divine intervention, no life shall be saved (Matthew 24:22). Certain Biblical scholars have described how closely these prophecies correlate to our modern times and put forward scenarios for this climactic battle.
The Battle of Armageddon is a 2 to 6 player game dealing with this final battle. The game brings together the forces of the World identfied in various passages of the Scriptures into the ultimate battle for control of the Earth: Israel, Arabs (including Muslim Africa and Persia), Magog (as Russia), Revived Roman Empire (as the EU), The Island Dwellers (the United States), Kings of the East (China)
The final conflict takes place in the battlegroup of Armageddon, a 19 x 33″ game map stretching from Egypt to Iran over 6 scenarios, or in a campaign.
Alongside 216 counters representing the units of the various powers, The Battle of Armageddon uses 149 playing cards that capture apocalyptic events (7 seals, 7 trumpets, 7 vials), special powers (e.g. the Antichrist, Gog of Magog, etc.), nuclear weapons (tactical, theatre, and strategic) and homeland populations.
Players maneuver their armies across the map and resolve battles using the battle dice. Event cards are drawn each turn, giving players special powers or weapons of mass destruction, but they can also bring on apocalyptic events. Ultimately, the player who best manages the chaos and controls Jerusalem at the end of the game wins.
The Battle of Armageddon provides a simple but challenging game system suitable for both seasoned and casual players. Players are forced to adjust their strategy depending on rapidly changing conditions as dictated by the event cards.
Combat is bloody, yet managed quickly and decisively through the battle dice. Players must manipulate allies and opponents to achieve the goal of capturing the Holy Land
