What is Ierusalem: Anno Domini

Jerusalem, spring 33 AD: A crowd gathers at the city gates to welcome Jesus of Nazareth as he prepares to celebrate the Passover seder with his apostles and followers. With a revolutionary message, he has garnered supporters everywhere but also looks of suspicion among religious authorities. The Last Supper will soon be celebrated, and the fate of one of the most influential characters in human history will be sealed.

In Ierusalem: Anno Domini, we represent one of the communities of followers of Jesus of Nazareth who, coming to Jerusalem from nearby towns and villages, want to approach the place of the Last Supper and position ourselves as close as possible to the seats of Jesus and his apostles. The closer we are, the more points we earn at game's end. We also score for offering tokens and parable tiles we've accumulated.

Different locations are shown on the board: the market, the desert, the mountain, the lake, and the temple. After sending our followers to one of these locations, we obtain stones, bread, and fish, as well as denarii or cards that allow us to do more than one action. Among these actions, players can choose between listening to a parable, going to the table, changing seats, or doing a favor, among other things. All this happens while the patience of the Sanhedrin runs out. When this happens, as symbolized by a tile moving in a marker, the endgame is triggered.

However, the main element of the game is the cards. Each card has a symbol corresponding to one of five key locations in the game. As we play them, we form combinations that allow us to bring the apostles to the table of the Last Supper. The optimal placement of our followers around Jesus and the apostles will also be done through the management of letters, as well as various resources at our disposal.

La temática del juego es brutal y el juego está muy bien hecho. A la larga puede acabar siendo un poco repetitivo pero cumple. El único problema es que según con quien juegues si van muy rápido a colocar todos los apóstoles la partida se queda un poco chof... En cuanto a la producción es excellente aunque vas a estar entretenido colocando pegatinas.

There's a lot of points of view from where to look at this one On the religious view, the game itself is pretty respectful. I don't think any Christian would be offended by this game. Actually it teaches some parts of the Bible in a pretty neat way. So, it's a game that encourage you to learn more about Christianism and Jesus life. I found that quite interesting and educational Speaking about the mechanics, game makes sense on the actions taken. The ludic side comes when bringing followers to the Last Supper in order to score the most points. In the middle you can be swapped from or to other

Es buena mecánica. No me gusta la temática de dios pero el juego en sí es bueno

Tema (para ser un euro) y mecánicas muy buenos. El arte gráfico y las ilustraciones me gustan (siempre hay imbéciles para los que si no ilustra Ian O'Toole o Pedro Soto todo les parece una mierda, allá ellos con su amargura)
