Simplest Game
In our resource pdf, we explain how to turn this robust 2+ hour game into a 30-min broader audience experience.
However, for an EVEN SIMPLER audience, consider ignoring all the symbols on the bottoms of the cards, and simply allowing people to move a "follower" to the Last Supper at the end of each turn as long as they pay the resources.

DeVir Games generously donated 200 copies of their Euro-style board game “Iarusalem” themed after disciples who fought for position around the Last Supper (see Bryan Drake's review to the left). For the growing community of board game fans, this time around the table can open many doors to talk about the saving love of Jesus! Here's a pdf on how to make the most of this game for the kingdom. Want the game, contact us and all it will cost you is shipping!

After you play Ierusalem, or start a conversation related to Jesus (especially around Holy Week), you may want to give people something to investigate Jesus more on their own. We humbly suggest this digital NextSteps journey, which will take people through a journey of who Jesus is in a winsome way and invite them into faith community, growing in Christ, and sharing their faith.
You can craft your own NextSteps journey for free using premade videos or uploading your own by visiting https://nextstep.is/.
