Footsteps of the Prophet v1.0
The Prophet (may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) has died¸ and now someone must take on the role of Khalifa¸ leading the faith. Can you unite the squabbling clans¸ pummel the Persians¸ beat back the Byzantines and unite the Arabian Peninsula? More importantly¸ can you do it in spite of the other players? Footsteps is a card game for 3-5 players¸ where each player is a Successor¸ someone capable of becoming Khalifa¸ with the charisma and leadership to build a following and command an army. Since only six of the first twelve Khalifa died of natural causes¸ there are frequent openings for the position... The game includes 120 cards that you print on pre-perfed business card sheets or card stock¸ rules¸ a booklet of historical notes about the real-world events that the cards are based on and even a box template to give you something to put it all in. It takes between 1 and 2 hours to play. Yes¸ it is to some extent an educational game based on people and events in the early history of Islam¸ but it is also a game of strategy¸ diplomacy and a little bit of treachery. Note: The cards print at high resolution. Please download the sample file and print it before you buy. If the compressed sample does not give you any problem¸ the full cards should work fine for you.
