Allah Akbar presents a set of rules for handling a miniatures campaign covering the First Crusade. As the introduction puts it: "Now you command those armies once again in this exciting stratigic (sic) game of the First Crusade. If you have never played a strategic game before, it is the same as a board wargame except that all battles are fought out in miniatures and there are more than two players in the game." "Allah Akbar has been designed so that you the player may use any sort of miniatures you desire. Just make sure that all players agree to the same set of rules before the game begins." The rules themselves present maps of the area, a system for strategic movement of land and naval forces, campaign record keeping, army lists, city management and rebellions. The rules are 25 pages, single-sided in a staple-bound booklet.
