"If I have any worth, it is to live my life for God so as to teach these peoples." - St. Patrick

Legend has it that St. Patrick drove the snakes out of Ireland. True, there are no snakes anywhere on the island- but there have been none since before the last Ice Age! The legend is actually an allegory about his successes in converting Ireland to Christianity.

Banish the Snakes is a cooperative game that simulates Ireland in the 5th century, while the Roman Empire was collapsing in the west and Ireland was turning to the Christian religion. Players represent Saints- Patrick and others who set out to convert the pagans on the island. You must work as a team to convert the people of Ireland before the barbarians completely overwhelm Britain.

The game board shows a map of Ireland. Wooden tiles represent the People, Druids, Chiefs, and Kings, and of course the High King at Tara. It is your job to break into the interrelated influences between these groups of people and get your new ideas accepted.
Each turn a card is drawn, throwing new challenges at your team. The severity of the event is determined by the previous card, and so no two games can ever play the same.

With the steady decline of Roman civilization in Great Britain, different parts of Britain succumb to the barbarians, adding more and more difficult challenges to the deck, until finally Britain is completely overwhelmed, cutting off Ireland from the continent and ending the game.

If you succeed in your endeavor, Christianity will thrive in Ireland, while paganism overruns Western Europe.

But if you fail…
