Banish the Snakes: A Game of St. Patrick in Ireland
A solitaire and/or cooperative game set in 5th-century Ireland, as Roman civilization declines in Britain and Christianity begins to spread across the island. Players take the roles of Patrick and other saints, working together to convert the people, Druids, chiefs, and kings represented on a map of Ireland. Each turn introduces historical figures, new ideas, and escalating challenges through a changing event deck. The team must establish Christianity before barbarian invasions overwhelm Britain and cut Ireland off from the continent.
