I
know there are several strategy trading card games
on the market, but I think you will find BBTCG a
welcome change. The game is centered around
characters, places, events, and items found
throughout the Old Testament. My hope is that
you will find gameplay as fun, challenging and
educational as I have had in designing it. I
have included biblical references on as many cards
as I could, but some nations had to be fleshed out,
so to speak, as the Old Testament did not go into as
much detail as I needed in certain areas, or made
some vague references to "a foreign king" and not
naming him directly.
The goal in BBTCG is to reach a predetermined level
of wisdom through the effort of your people.
This first edition of BBTCG includes aspects from
the Israelites, Canaanites, Assyrians, Babylonians,
Romans, and the Egyptians. You will have to
balance cultivating land, building livestock to feed
your armies, protect your people, cities, temples
and kings with the armies you will have to build.
Your follower cards can either use their effort to
build, or to add directly to your wisdom. The
Israelites worshiped God (and I have included some
of the wittnessed and recorded miracles of that
time) and the other nations worshiped the gods in
whom they believed existed at that time.
What you will not find in BBTCG are spells, witches,
warlocks, dragons, elves, pixies, etc. What
you will find are things that the people of that
time had to carve out a nation and thrive.
Even if you have never played card games of this
nature, do not worry. I tried to make the rules of
play mirror what would normally happen in real life.
Building a city or temple takes a certain amount of
effort from your people. Supporting an army requires
you have enough food to sustain them. Laying
siege to a fortress takes planning and time.
People were bribed, converted and assassinated.

I want to thank all of my friends and family for
their support.
