Unite with your brothers in arms for this holy war. Richard Lionheart and the Angevine have joined with knights from The Holy Roman Empire to try and conquer the city of Jerusalem and retake the holy land from Saladin’s Ayyubid dynasty and the Turkomans.
Fight for control over the cities and deserts of Palestine. Plan out your actions alongside your ally before turning against them and take the victory for yourself. Send out cavalry and siege engines to battle your enemies, but be aware of their need for water. You don’t want your army to die of thirst before they even clash with the enemy.
Looking for a strategic Crusades board game with bidding, diplomacy, and battlefield deception? In Third Crusade, you lead a faction in the 12th-century conflict for the Holy Land. Your banners rise, your knights await and your enemies scheme in silence. Secretly issue commands, negotiate alliances, and outmaneuver rivals across a shifting map of war and ambition.
Each round demands tough choices: spend resources to maintain morale and water, or save your strength for a surprise siege? Cities can fall through diplomacy or burn under your siege engines. Timing, loyalty, and betrayal are your tools in this brutal contest of faith and power.
Will your cause stand strong or be buried in the sands of war? Will you save the holy land, in your eyes.
