Leaders of the returning exiles compete to rebuild Jerusalem’s temple and walls and guide the people by teaching the Torah.

Gameplay

Over three rounds, you place workers and play multi-use cards to gather resources, build temple sections, raise walls and gates, travel to settlements, and score endgame points. Every week feels tight as you juggle limited actions and supplies while racing for key build sites and bonuses before the Sabbaths arrive.
