Europa Universalis

Europa Universalis

Very heavy weight: Rules-dense, long sessions

From BoardGameGeek

Europa Universalis is a monster wargame of diplomacy, territorial expansion, trade, military technology, economic development, and war where you play the part of kings as you relive 300 years of world history (1492-1792). The grand campaign game can keep 6 players occupied for a long, long time, but one of the beauties of this wargame is that you can play a shorter campaign game or a mini campaign that requires fewer player and less space and time and you can even re-fight one of 20 battle scenarios, or play a solitaire scenario. The game includes: 2 color maps (Europe & Rest of the World), 80cm x 60cm each 1412 counters (armies, fleets, leaders, detachments, colonies, trading posts, etc) - Countersheets #1 to #6 1 rulebook (72 pages) 1 scenarios book (52 pages) 1 annexes book (48 pages) 6 player's aids & record sheets 2 ten-sided dice 43 scenarios Solitaire scenarios: Cortes & Magellan - 1520-1614 Da Gama & Albuquerque - 1495-1559 Coen & Heyn - 1590-1664 Yermak - 1560-1664 Washington - 1775-1784 Battle scenarios: The Battle of the Boyne - 1690 The Battle of Lepanto - 1571 The Battle of Mohacs - 1526 The French & Spanish Campaigns in Italy - 1525 The Campaign of Zenta - 1697 Turenne's Franche-Comte & Alsace Campaigns - 1674 The Turkish Siege of Vienna - 1683 The Struggle for Azow - 1689 The Anglo-Dutch War - 1666-1667 The English Civil War - 1642-1653 The War of the Spanish Succession - 1702-1713 The Thirty Years War - 1618-1648 The Seven Years War - 1756-1763 The War of the League of Augsburg - 1688-1697 The War of the Austrian Succession - 1744-1748 The Great Northern War - 1700-1721 The Wars of Religion in France - 1562-1598 The Russo-Turkish War - 1770-1792 The Veneto-Turkish War - 1640-1667 The Campaigns of the Sun King - 1687-1699 Campaign scenarios: 1492-1519 1520-1559 1560-1614 1615-1664 1665-1699 1700-1759 1740-1792 Grand Campaign 1492-1792
