Napoleon Saga: Waterloo

Napoleon Saga: Waterloo takes you back to 1815, right in the middle of the campaign in Belgium. On one side stands the French army, on the other the coalition troops. You sit across from each other at the table and fight out a battle that once kept generals awake at night. It all revolves around cards: each player has two decks that represent their army and their plans. You set up your troops on the playing area and take turns trying to defeat the other. There are two ways to do that. You can break down your opponent's army completely, until nothing is left standing, or you can collect at least ten victory points by knocking out enemy units and achieving your secret goals. Which route you take depends on how the cards fall and how you use them. With the scenarios from the two expansions you replay famous battles such as Quatre-Bras, Ligny, Waterloo or Wavre. Please note: the base game itself does not include any scenarios. Would you rather go your own way? Then use the deckbuilding part to build your own army and simply rewrite history. Expect about ninety minutes at the table, together with one opponent who wants to win just as much as you do.
