📖 About This Game

Deck 'Em: War in Europe 1756-1815 is a war game for 2-6 players with influences from Empires in Arms, Axis & Allies, and Conquest of the Empire II (among others). It utilizes an action point system used by the major powers while supported by card play based on the minor countries. This is not your typical back-and-forth, territory-swapping, dice-rolling slaughterfest war game! Yes, there are dice, but the unique combat system does a better job of simulating the multiple battles and skirmishes that were a big part of campaign warfare during this time period. Players will make tough decisions on where to maximize their strength while working together with their allies. I've created 5 campaign scenarios representing different years, each with unique and historically accurate alliances, starting territories and forces, and major power strengths. The game also gives you the freedom to create your own historical campaigns, or simply play a cut-throat, free-for-all style. —description from the designer
