Sword of Orthodoxy is a strategic solitaire game of the rise and fall of the Byzantine Empire, simulating its saga from 421 AD until the end of the 15th century – an epic thousand year tale of heroism, betrayal, intrigue, and spectacular cultural achievements.

In Sword of Orthodoxy, The Rise and Fall of Byzantium, your task is to guide a former Greek colony founded in 667 BC on the Bosporus from its hard-scrabble beginnings as an emergent power in 421 AD to becoming the capital of the vast thousand-year city state known to history as the Eastern Roman Empire and to the world as the fabulous and storied Byzantium. A solitaire game, Sword of Orthodoxy is designed by Charles S. Roberts Award winner Ben Madison, who also designed the following other White Dog Games titles: Global War, The Mission, The First Jihad, The White Tribe, Mrs. Thatcher's War, N, Don't Tread on Me, Gift of the Nile, Jeff Davis, Kaiserkrieg, and Gorbachev. Sword of Orthodoxy features a beautiful game map by artist Jose Faura.
