Who it's for

Groups who love negotiation wargames and want a whole day of alliances that mean nothing once orders flip.

Not for you if…

Being betrayed by friends stings, or you cannot commit an entire day and a full table to one game.

🦊

Vibe's take

Talkative and treacherous – the negotiation is the game, and the reveal is where friendships get expensive.

About this game

An alternate-history war of the great powers after 1815, where all orders are written secretly on dry-erase maps and revealed at once, so every alliance is only as good as the reveal.
