About this game

The Thirty Years War rages across Germany as players command armies, collect taxes, and battle for territorial control. Wallenstein uses a unique cube tower for combat resolution: pour armies in, and the tower spits out a mix of both sides based on cubes trapped inside from previous battles. The simultaneous action selection prevents analysis paralysis, and the combination of Euro resource management with wargame conquest creates something genuinely unique. A Eurowargame classic.
