Deus Lo Vult: Inshallah is an expansion for Deus lo Vult released in 2020 for 2–4 players, 30–120 minutes per game, and ages 14 and up. It was designed by Michael Badelin and its main mechanics are Tile Placement, Grid Movement, and Pick-up and Deliver.
This add on is very distinctive from any other extra army set, for all those countless woes and suffering it will bring upon players when being put into game, scourging everyone with umpteen Seljouk, Turkoman, Mamluk and Arab units, including Siege Engines, Light and Heavy Cavalry, four different Ranged Unit types - and fearsome Saladin himself! If you found your crusading sessions lack grievance, drama, and PvP, or your Purgatorium looks too sad and unpopulated, you should add this Army to the Saracene Deck and dive right into a fascinating world of the massacre, grieving, and vendettas, and see why exactly the Crusades ended the way they ended!
Deus Lo Vult: Inshallah supports 2–4 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Deus Lo Vult: Inshallah is 30–120 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Deus Lo Vult: Inshallah for ages 14 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone.
