    From the back of the box:
    The military-historical game "The Crusaders" reflects the events that took place in the end of the XI th-XII th centuries when numerous crusader armies moved to the East to free the sacred city of Jerusalem from the Saracens.

    This game is for 2-6 players. The enemy armies led by the players meet in a desert in Asia Minor. Tactic maneuvering are very important in the gane. Under a skillful leader a smaller army can defeat numerous enemies. You can either recreate the historic battle or change the course of the fight. Anyway you should rely on not only the number of your army but also on your leadership and war skills.
