9 itemsAbout the Game

"Church Era" is a fast-paced worker-placement strategy game set in a medieval fantasy land Tigris.
The gameplay includes elements such as worker placement, construction, card mechanics, and regional control.

The rule is simple: Place your units to fulfill an area's requirement to acquire it and gain scores called "Faith". You can control an area through Preaching(neutral areas) or Attacking(areas controlled by the opponent).
A regular battle takes around 12 turns. At the end of the last round, the player with the most Faith Points wins(A tie will be counted as losing).
Or, if you prefer to eliminate your enemy entirely, you can destroy their base and claim your triumph.
Discover interesting combos between heroes and factions' special abilities and the power behind miracle cards, which lead you to your glory and expand your collection.

The story began with the founder of The Raniki Empire, Raniki I, who tried to overthrow the local church but learned his lesson the hard way. Many years later, a great empire was established and lasted for hundreds of years.
But can it last forever? What might happen later on? And what might happen in other regions?
As a strategist and historian, hired by the Greenwood family, you are eager to know the answer to your sandbox scenarios.
And maybe help Aili, the sister of Mary, the leader of the Greenwood family, to organize the Encyclopedia of Flowers and Plants along your journey.
Are you ready to give this medieval adventure a try? Let's go!
