About the Game

"Jihad!: The Rise of Islam, 632-732 A.D." is a board-wargame simulation of the first century of Islamic expansion after the death of Mohamed, the Prophet and founder of the Islamic religion. During this period a holy war of conquest and the religious conversion of non-Arab peoples were the mainsprings of Islam and the Arabs progressed from a religious force to a secular great power. Jihad! covers these events on a grand strategic scale with each turn representing five years and military units representing entire armies of various types.”

First published by Simulations Canada in 1981.

Re-Published by Compass Games in Paper Wars magazine nr.91 - Winter 2019
