Description

MISSION OF THE GAME
Your task is to take the 12 tribes of Israel out of the slavery of Egypt and lead them with Moses into the Promised Land. During their journey the people of Israel meet many difficulties, which can affect their morale. The task of Moses (the player) is to keep their morale high enough, otherwise traveling will stop. God is with Israel in the pillars of cloud and fire. God helps his people to reach the destination by giving manna from Heaven and water from the rock. Sometimes stubborn people stir up the wrath of God and they have to sacrifice sin offerings in order to reconcile their deeds and get blessings. God rewards the obedience of people by letting them carry the Ark of the Covenant. The winner is the one who reaches the goal and offers first a Sacrifice of Thanksgiving.

The players will advance in pre-determined path in the game by throwing a dice and will have to keep their moral points above 2 by getting maximum of one for free or paying three/five silver coins. The players can also bog each other down by bribing the enemy causing the other to pay to progress or get slowed down. Leading the race after Mount of Sinai is also important, the leader will have the Ark of the Covenant giving him the choice to make additional step.
