Jerusalem! was published in 1975 by Simulations Design Corporation (SDC). It was designer John Hill's fifth professionally published game, and further served to peg him as a game designer with an impressive bag of tricks. This game is a tactical level game of the struggle for that city in the 1948 War for Independence, with a bucketload of unusual game mechanics and rules to handle the exotic array of units that participated in the battle.Jerusalem is the boardgame of the 1948 conflict in which Israel established itself as a nation. The tactical battle has the Jewish forces attempting to keep open or bypass with a new road, the only source of food for the city.In Jerusalem, the players do not merely move, but conduct an operation. This creates a unique flow of play which gives a true feel for the disjointed and desperate battle of the Jews to keep open the one road to the Holy City. Included are units for all the invading armies, Arab guerrillas, el Katub (the mad bomber), the Palmach, Haganah, Irgun, and Stern Gangs. The Israeli player even has the option of building the now famous road in this amazingly accurate and exciting simulation of the nearly aborted birth of the Israeli nationWhich is better? I like the SDC counters, but the Mayfair one does have a box. Why decide? We ship worldwide AND combine shipping! And we ship every game in a bigger box with much padding and love.
