Description
Harun Al-Rashid was the fifth Great Caliph of the Abbasid Dynasty, and he ruled over the Middle East between the years 786 and 809. His reign was full of prosperity in all areas, like culture, science and politics. His life and his famous court are said to be the inspiration for the "One Thousand and One Nights" collection of folk stories. In Al Rashid, players will take the role of the heads of powerful families, and will use the members of their families for trading, traveling, and ultimately trying to exercise influence over the court of the powerful ruler. Al Rashid is a mostly deterministic strategy game, with a slight hint of randomness based on worker placement, influence, resource management, and the efficient scoring of prestige points.
