Description Edit | History

The Arian Controversy: A Game of Heresy and Hilarity is a light strategy game for two players. Set in the early fourth century AD, one player takes on the role of Arius, attempting to gain support for his position that Jesus was not equal to God. The opposing player takes the role of Alexander, bishop of Alexandria, and attempts to convince the world that Jesus was equal to God. Players must move quickly around the board, spreading their message across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa.

On their turn, players draw two cards, each of which has a certain number of action points. Using one card for action points, players move around the board and lay down support cubes. The other card is stored away, to be used at the Council of Nicaea.
Players debate at the Council of Nicaea with the cards that they've put away in order to gain further support for their position.
Once all cards are discarded, the player with the most support wins, and the opposing player is labeled a heretic.
The Arian Controversy: A Game of Heresy and Hilarity brings all of the tension and name-calling of early Christian controversy to the comfort of your living room!
