Victory & Glory: Napoleon (Last Chance)

Manufacturer: Forbidden Games

Victory & Glory: Napoleon allows the players to relive the entire Napoleonic Wars in one game session. One player will take the role of France in her attempt to unite the continent of Europe with her powerful military led by one of history's most restless minds: a genius who would reform Europe's tired political, economic, and social structures while fighting a series of wars against those who resisted this change.

The other player will take the role of Great Britain as she struggled to oppose French domination of the continent by cobbling together a series of alliances with the other great powers. Great Britain used her thriving economy and domination of the seas to blockade the French while subsidizing the war effort against France.

Both players will have to make difficult decisions on what to focus on:

• Economy: the engine that supports their military and keeps their people happy.

• Military: the military force on land and sea can defeat the enemy and allow their nation to dominate Europe.

• Leadership & Tactics: military innovations and individual generalship that influence the outcomes of battles.

These decisions are made simply by selecting which cards are played from the player's hand, and which end up being discarded. This simple mechanic allows the players to easily create a coherent strategy within the context of the actual events of the era depicted on the cards. In the early years, the French will seem to run rampant, but eventually the tide will turn against them and they will find themselves in a vicious fight to maintain the empire that they have built.
