Thirty Years of Misery

Team-based historical wargame covering the Thirty Years War of 1618–1648. Up to four players command rival factions, coordinating with allies to secure military control of German political entities and impose religious policies. Card-driven events, random chit-pull turn order, and custom-dice combat create a narrative shaped by thematic unpredictability. Although factions share victory objectives, only one faction within the victorious alliance can win.
