Wallenstein Big Box

Set during the Thirty Years’ War, this strategy game has players leading military campaigns, controlling regions, and building palaces and churches to gain victory points. Development must be balanced with the needs of the peasants, whose unrest can affect each province. Battles are resolved through a dice tower that retains some army cubes between turns. The number of attacking and defending armies that emerge determines the result. This big-box edition includes the base game and four expansion modules: Emperor’s Court, Landsknechte, Military Leaders, and Office.
