Christians and Saracens is a low-complexity wargame based on the Battle for Jerusalem. Up to six players can play as an army from the period (Britonian, Franks, or Saxon Crusaders or Turks, Arabs, or Egyptian Saracen). The goal is to break through your opponents' defenses while at the same time maintaining your own. The game is flexible enough to allow one defender the opportunity to beat three attackers (in a four player game).
