Crescent Moon*

As the sun rises over the deserts, rivers, and oases of the caliphate, a delicate balance has been disrupted. Players assume the role of one of several rival powers, each with the chance to alter the course of history and seize control. Ambitious Sultans, mysterious Murshids, wandering nomads, and ruthless warlords all vie for dominance amid chaos and uncertainty.

The game is played over three years, with players taking four actions each year such as raising armies, recruiting mercenaries, and expanding their influence. Each character has unique abilities and goals to achieve, with a shared market for powerful cards that can alter the game dynamics. At the end of the game, the player with the most points, earned through individual character objectives, emerges victorious.
