As a learning tool, THE EXECUTIVE GAME provides much of the excitement and many of the problems encountered by top management. It allows participants the unique opportunity to experience both the cooperative and competitive interactions of business, while learning about teamwork in a decision-making environment. The game emphasizes quantitative skills, however, not to the exclusion of qualitative considerations. At the beginning of play, the participants must depend on intuitive judgements grounded in previous experience and common sense. Throughout the game, players will need to second-guess competitors, camouflage their own strategy, respond decisively to successful actions of other firms, and take advantage of the competition's errors. Also, the game is an excellent exercise in teamwork. In the business environment, corporate activities among managers who are more or less peers in the organizational hierarchy are at least as important as actions coordinated by central authority. The game illustrates how a team becomes more capable than any one person.

1212. The forces of Christendom are on the march again. There is much to avenge. Twenty-five years ago, the Christian army lay slaughtered on the desolate plain of the Horns of Hattin. Mighty Saladin, ruler of the Moslem world, went on to capture Jerusalem, crush the Crusaders, and push back the remnants of the Latin empire to a thin line of threatened coastal forts. The Holy Land seemed lost. But now the Pope has called for crusade. Many take the cross for pilgrimage and battle. Among them is Otto, a young noble heading for the Holy Land in search of his vanished Hospitaller Knight father, and Brother Luke, a mysterious Franciscan on a mission of his own. And then there are the children, tens of thousands of them, pledged to recapture Jerusalem and find the True Cross, the holiest of relics lost to the forces of Islam. But what begins as a religious quest will turn into a harrowing nightmare of hardship and danger. For dangers press in and the way ahead is perilous. Some will not survive. What they seek is Truth. What they find is Hell.
