Toledo 1085 is a board game for 2–4 players, with an approximate play time of 45 minutes. Set in the historic city of Toledo, it places each player in the role of a noble seeking to develop the city through science, culture, and trade.

The game is set on May 25, 1085, after Alfonso VI conquered Toledo following a four-year siege. Al-Qadir surrendered the city to Alfonso VI, who guaranteed protection for people and their goods, regardless of their religion.

This decision began a period of peaceful coexistence among Toledo’s three major religions: Christian, Jewish, and Muslim. King Alfonso VI supported this coexistence and sought to encourage harmony throughout the city.
