Rival powers in a fractured Caliphate compete to dominate key regions and outscore each other through shifting alliances, intrigue, and conquest.

Gameplay

Over three years you place armies and agents, build forts and settlements, buy power cards, and fight to control and influence regions for points. Every turn is a tense read of the table as bargains, timing, and sudden reversals decide who holds the map when scoring hits.
