Ezra and Nehemiah
Ezra and Nehemiah is a complex, thematic strategy game designed by Shem Phillips and Sam Macdonald – the design duo behind the highly rated West Kingdom and South Tigris Trilogies. The game combines multi-use cards, hand management, worker placement, and resource management to create a unique experience at the table. Many playtesters have referred to the game as Sam and Shem’s “greatest hits”, as a lot of design elements from their previous games can be seen sprinkled throughout the DNA of this game.
