From the Rules: The history of Europe in the 23 years following the French Revolution records an extraordinary series of military
campaigns and shifting alliances. Napoleon Bonaparte set out to dominate the Continent. thereby producing opposing coalitions that at different times involved almost every country in Europe and at times included Russia. A brief resume of those fascinating years is given in the accompanying folder.
Although no attempt has been made to parallel the Napoleonic wars. this period of history has been used as the inspiration for the game “Campaign”. Each player sets out to be a “Napoleon” and to win the game by the outright defeat of his opponents or by the acquisition of large areas of territory.
When there are four players. alliances can be made – and broken – from the start. With three players. alliances should only be made against a third force that is threatening to dominate the game. When only two players are involved there can. of course. be no alliances.
