Revolution! - Intrigue during the French Revolution.
This Hard & Calcined Earth - WWII Westen Desert Campaign.
Revolution! (Pdf edition)
The French Revolution 1789-96
|
It is a game of intrigue which aims to recreate the politics of the Revolution from the reactionary
Monarchists, through the moderate Girondins, to the radical and ultra radical Jacobins. At the end of the
game the French Revolution will have settled on a dictatorial pattern of leadership: the very
environment that resulted in Napoleon's assumption of power.
What the press said: The game takes place in the French National Assembly building. Players represent one of three political factions each composed of a group of famous characters. They must find solutions to the problems of state raised by this turbulent period whilst wrestling one another for political control. Each political faction, and in the advanced game each character, has their own agenda to promulgate whilst simultaneously denying their opponents power. Like all forms of politics power is exercised by a series of votes. Players may use debate, bribery, bullying and scurrilous accusation to win these votes. To win this game you must be prepared to engage in all of these activities at some point. |

This Hard & Calcined Earth (Pdf edition)
A WWII Card Game - North African Campaign 1940-1943
|
This is a campaign level game portraying the broad sweep of events and strategic issues
surrounding the famous desert battles of WWII.
What the press said: The game includes all the complexities of the historical campaign yet is physically small enough to put it in your pocket and play it down the pub, on a train, or in the garden. The rules are simple to learn but difficult to master. Events affect the outcome of the game but you always have some element of control. The game provides an different alternative, yet feasible, result every time it's played. It is, in other words, a campaign in your pocket. |
