The Great Fire of London 1666

Players are wealthy property owners in 1666 London who lead trained bands to fight a spreading conflagration. Each turn, allocate militia, use explosives to create firebreaks, and decide which districts to defend or sacrifice as the blaze advances. Choices affect personal holdings, public standing, and control of landmarks; scoring balances surviving property value against civic reputation. Play centers on risk assessment, area control, and timing destructive measures to halt the fire’s spread.
