The Bible contains Prophecies about the final days, describing how the Armies of the World will fight the Final Battle and that without divine intervention, no life shall be saved (Matthew 24:22). Certain Biblical Scholars have described how closely these Prophecies correlate to our modern times and put forward Scenarios for this Climactic Battle.
The Battle of Armageddon: Deluxe Edition is a 2 to 6 Player game dealing with this Final bBttle. The Game brings together the Forces of the World into the Ultimate Battle for control of the Earth:
- Israel: the Children of the Holy Land, promised peace by the Antichrist and betrayed by the World (1 Thessalonians 5:3).
- Arabs: the King of the South, including Cush (Arab Africa), Put (Black Africa) and Persia (Iran) (Daniel 11:40, Ezekiel 38:5).
- Magog: from the extreme northern parts, along with Gomer and Togarmah led by Gog, Chief Prince of Meshech and Tubal (Ezekiel 38:1-6).
- Revived Roman Empire: a European Empire of 10 Nations, led by the Antichrist, shall gather the Armies of the World to Battle (Revelation 16: 13-15).
- United States: who dwell safely in the isles (Ezekiel 39: 6).
- Kings of the East: an Army 200 million strong (Revelation 9: 16).
The 19x33" Game Map represents the battleground, stretching from Egypt to Iran. The 216 5/8″ Counters (die-cut and back-printed) represent the Armies of Israel, the Arabs, Magog (Russia), the Revived Roman Empire (Europe), USA and the Kings of the East (China). The 149 Playing Cards capture apocalyptic events (7 seals, 7 trumpets and 7 vials), Special Powers (e.g. the Anitchrist, Gog of Magog, etc.), Nuclear Weapons (tactical, theatre and strategic) and Homeland Populations. Battle Dice are used to resolve all Battles.
Players maneuver their Armies across the Map and resolve Battles using the Battle Dice. Event Cards are drawn each turn, giving Players special powers or weapons of mass destruction, but they can also bring on apocalyptic events. Ultimately, the Player who best manages the chaos and controls Jerusalem at the end of the game wins!
