I just don't see them ever ending anywhere good.That said, since this is still open, my thoughts are that seems like a fairly nice way to celebrate the holiday and spend some time with your family. That said, be aware that that period of history (the Hasmonean Kingdom) isn't the brightest spot in Jewish history. The independent kingdom formed after the rebellion was regarded as being fairly degenerate by later Jews for a number of reasons, including the hellenistic traits it retained from the occupation, the succession of murder and intruige for the throne (that eventually collapsed the nation after barely a century), and the fact that many of its rulers claimed kingship, something only those of the house of David are supposed to hold. And that's just what I learned from a quick <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hasmonean" target="_blank">Wikipedia</a> search.Of course, that may be too large a context for just a mini-campaign arc, but kids can do surprising amounts of research on things that grab them (especially in this information age). In regards to the rebellion itself, you should be relatively safe, though you may want to gloss over some of the less politically-correct points about that point in history (sexism was a way of life then, and anti-Greek sentiment was fairly strong), particularly the point of this being a religiously-backed guerilla resistance fighting a foreign occupancy, and then setting up their own government; you may have more on your hands than you bargained for if your kids start asking about the differences between the Maccabees and the Taliban.Most likey, I'm worrying too much, but I just wanted to give you some honest feedback. I hope your game goes well for you and your family.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
