The players control the armies that battled for control of Europe's destiny. Deploy the forces on a game board of Europe from Constantinople to the English Channel, struggle for control of key cities to gain victory in an age of Total War. August 1914: For two generations there has been no war between the Great Powers of Europe. Now, following the assassination of the Austrian Archduke Franz Ferdinand by Serb nationalists, the Central Powers (Germany and Austria-Hungary) are at war with the Allies (Russia, France and Britain). The cheering crowds in every nation expect their armies to return victorious "before the leaves fall." But there will be no easy triumph, and as more nations are drawn into the conflict, the bloodletting will continue on a massive scale for four more years. Finally, on November 11, 1918, a defeated Germany will sign the Armistice, ending what we know today as the First World War.

The Prince is a colorful card game in which the players represent one of the great, powerful Italian families in renaissance Italy. Making the best of available resources and using the political influence of your family, you pave the way towards the ultimate goal: The Papacy. The road to becoming Pope is long and difficult, however. You will need to connive with other families, gain fame by becoming patron of remarkable artists, gain Papal offices (strongholds in the patrimony of St. Peter), acquire vast sums of money, consolidate your military power, and jostle for position and political leverage until the time comes for the elector cardinals to retreat into their enclave and cast their votes for a new Pope.
