What this is
Europe in conflict during the Protestant Reformation of the 16th century. The 3-player game is just as well balanced as the standard 6-player configuration, taking advantage of the natural alliances of the period. This game covers all the action of the period using a card-driven game system that models both the political and religious conflicts of the period on a single point-to-point map.
