Ancient Heroes of The Bible

Warfare Battle #1

Game Overview

A Bible Adventure of Faith, Challenges, and Victory

Warfare – Battle #1 is a family-friendly Bible card game where players build Faith Journeys, overcome Darkness Challenges, and prepare for the ultimate battle between Jesus and the Prince of Darkness.

Throughout the game, players collect cards representing key people and events from Scripture while defending their Faith Journeys from attacks by powerful Darkness Challenge cards such as Pharaoh, Goliath, King Herod, and the Prince of Darkness.

Players must use Heroes, Power Cards, and Warfare Battles to protect their Journeys and continue growing stronger.

You need Set 1 & Set 2 of the Ancient Heroes of The Bible trading cards to play.

Your Mission

To win the game, a player must:

✓ Complete 3 Faith Journeys

✓ Possess Prince of Darkness (#73)

✓ Possess Jesus (#63)

✓ Play Jesus (#63) against Prince of Darkness (#73)

The first player to do so wins the game.

How to Play

During the game, players:

Draw cards
Build Faith Journeys
Defend against Darkness Challenges
Use Hero cards to defeat evil
Help other players through Fellowship
Battle on the Warfare Map
Steal important cards from opponents
Search for Jesus (#63) and Prince of Darkness (#73)

Every decision brings players closer to the final victory.

Three Ways to Defeat Darkness

When a Darkness Challenge attacks a Faith Journey, players may respond in one of three ways:

1. Hero Cards

Use the matching Hero to immediately defeat the Darkness Challenge.

Example:

Goliath is defeated by David
Pharaoh is defeated by Moses
Temptation is defeated by Jesus #92

2. Power Cards

Power Cards can remove a Darkness Challenge when a Hero is unavailable.

3. Warfare Battles

Players answer questions from the Warfare Map to defeat the challenge and earn rewards.

Fellowship & Grace Reward

Faith Journey encourages players to help one another.

When another player’s Journey is under attack, you may use your Hero card to help defend them.

Helping another player earns a Grace reward:

Draw 1 card, OR
Take the top card from the discard pile.

The Final Battle

Prince of Darkness (#73) is the most important Darkness Challenge in the game.

Players may draw it, protect it, lose it, or steal it through Warfare Battles.

Only Jesus (#63) can defeat Prince of Darkness.

When a player has:

3 completed Faith Journeys
Prince of Darkness (#73)
Jesus (#63)

they may play Jesus against Prince of Darkness and immediately win the game.
