About the game
What you do in a play session
Get ready for a genealogical journey! In 'Line of Judah', you step into the shoes of a historian tasked with unraveling the lineage of Jesus Christ, directly inspired by the Gospel of Matthew. The game delves into the biblical narrative where Jacob blesses his sons, foretelling a royal lineage that would culminate in the Messiah. Your mission? To reconstruct this sacred timeline. Each new card you uncover represents a member of this crucial genealogy. The big question is: will you add this person to your own research line, solidifying your version of history, or will you place them in the family tree for other players to claim? Once a member is incorporated into your lineage, there's no turning back – history is written! The game concludes when all family members have been revealed. The historian who manages to assemble the longest and most complete section of the line of Judah will be crowned the winner. With simple rules and a captivating theme, this set collection game is perfect for those seeking a quick experience with a touch of historical and religious depth. It's a great pick for those who enjoy light card games with a unique theme, ideal for families and anyone wanting to learn a bit more about this important biblical narrative in an interactive and fun way. The set collection mechanic is at the heart of the game, requiring strategic decisions about which pieces of history to collect and when.
