An ambitious asymmetric area control game of tense negotiations and political intrigue.
As the sun rises over the deserts, rivers, and oases of the Caliphate, a delicate balance
has been upset. As one of many rival powers in the region, you now have the opportunity
to alter the course of history and seize power for yourself. The ambitious Sultan sits in a
golden palace, presiding over great works of architecture. The secretive Murshid works
to covertly undermine the central authorities through an expansive network of agents.
The wandering tribes of the Nomad aim to sow discord in order to secure employment
for their experienced mercenary citizenry. The ravaging forces of the Warlord sweep
across the land, chasing after promises of plunder. And, in the face of chaos and
uncertainty, the Caliph aims to preserve order through military might. Will you
successfully navigate this web of rivalries and rise to prominence, or will you squabble
with your lesser adversaries and fade into obscurity?
Crescent Moon is an area control game for four or five players. Take on the role of one of
five radically asymmetric characters, each with their own objectives to fulfil, unique
