W1815

A tactical block wargame that recreates the core events of the 1815 battlefield in a compact playtime. Players command corps represented by cards placed around a battlefield map that also records casualties and current strengths. On a turn, a player activates one corps card and resolves the action printed on it, then updates strengths and casualties on the map. The French player seeks to overwhelm the Anglo-Allied forces before Prussian intervention, while the Anglo-Allied player manages reserves to hold until allies arrive. The game ends when an army routs or the time marker reaches night.
