In his first year as king of Persia, Cyrus the Great issued a decree in writing to the Israelite exiles living under his rule:The God of heaven has given me all the kingdoms of the earth and has appointed me to build a temple for Him in Jerusalem. Any of his people may go up to Jerusalem in Judah to build the temple of the Lord, the God of Israel. And in any place where survivors may now be living, the people of Persia are ...

In his first year as king of Persia, Cyrus the Great issued a decree in writing to the Israelite exiles living under his rule:

The God of heaven has given me all the kingdoms of the earth and has appointed me to build a temple for Him in Jerusalem. Any of his people may go up to Jerusalem in Judah to build the temple of the Lord, the God of Israel. And in any place where survivors may now be living, the people of Persia are to provide them with silver, gold, goods, livestock, and offerings for the temple of God in Jerusalem - Ezra 1:2-4 (paraphrased).

Decades later, in the twentieth year of Artaxerxes reign, the king noticed a sadness in his cupbearer, Nehemiah. When asked why he looked so ill, Nehemiah replied:

May the king live forever! Why should I not look sad when the city of my ancestors lies in ruins, and its gates have been destroyed by fire? If it pleases you, and if I have found favor in your sight, let me go to the city in Judah where my ancestors are buried so that I may rebuild it - Nehemiah 2:3-5 (paraphrased).

Fun game!

Good balance between resource management, card selection, specialised pathways :) really enjoyed this solid game with biblical themes and ideas!

A super great game from the Graphill Games team

Ezra and Nehemiah is a well-considered, thematic, beautifully constructed, mid-weight Euro game that has been a joy to learn and play. Every angle of the game has been thoughtfully considered, from mechanics to theme to replayability, making it a great addition to one's collection. We’ve played it three times now, and each game has been fulfilling and enjoyable. My only concern with the game is that, after a few more plays, the strategies might feel formulaic, but only further plays will tell. If that turns out to be the case, I’m not too concerned, as I’ll simply sell my copy so others can enjoy it as much as I did, while I move on to one of the other games in the Graphill collection. It’s a great game that offers a well-established gateway into heavier games, while still holding enough depth itself to be enjoyable. 8/10
