Credo: The Game of Duelling Dogmas

Credo is a board game of rival beliefs and political negotiation set in AD 325. Bishops from across the Roman Empire gather at Nicaea under the watchful eye of Emperor Constantine, facing a question that will shape the early Christian Church: what do they all believe? Your objective is to ensure your faction’s beliefs are accepted into the Creed, the Church’s agreed statement of faith.

Build your following through conversion, wheeling and dealing, while countering the ambitions of rival bishops. Form alliances, negotiate for votes and use secular backing to advance your cause. You can play event cards, become the Emperor and convene Councils, or send Church fathers to rivals to convert them to your beliefs.

The Council’s decisions determine which beliefs become orthodox doctrine and which are condemned as heresy. Choosing how to gather support and influence those decisions could produce a Creed very different from the one known today.

• Political negotiation, alliances and horse-trading between rival factions.
• Event cards and secular backing offer ways to influence proceedings.
• Opportunities to become the Emperor and convene Councils.
• A historical religious setting where votes shape the emerging Creed.
