On a map of Europe in 1900, 7 countries have to negotiate with each other. Objective: Capture 18 territories on the map. You have to negotiate and make agreements with your fellow players, such as: "if you want to support me here with an attack, then I will help there ...". This game is played in clubs and by correspondence. Probably the best game in its genre. Not recommended below 6 players. Can't be finished overnight. There are national federations that organize competitions. Can also be played via the Internet! This is said to be Dr. Henry Kissinger! Through subtle diplomatic intrigues and secret conferences, the great powers are trying to gain supremacy over Europe. Agreements are made just as quickly as they are violated. A maximum of 7 diplomats, representing the 7 great powers, try to control as many supply centers as possible in 2 offensives per playing year. The game begins in the spring of 1901. Each player has armies, fleets and marker stones. Because it is very difficult to gain control alone and an attack only succeeds with a numerical majority, the players are often forced to enter into treaties with each other, to which they are not bound. Number of players: 2 - 7 (7 players is best) Age: from approx. 14 years Content: - 1 game board (Europe at the beginning of this century) - 7 conference cards - armies - fleets - markers - instruction manual
