Description

Westphalia is a game of diplomatic negotiations and military campaigns, where six players take on the roles of asymmetric factions, including Austria, Bavaria, Spain, France, Sweden, and the Dutch Republic. The goal isn't to win the war, but to arrive at a settlement that meets your own political, confessional, and economic goals. Players must navigate a mix of cooperation and competition, using negotiation and military leverage to get what they want. The game is played over 120 minutes, with alternating Diplomacy Phases and Military Phases. Debt is a major factor, and players must manage it carefully to achieve their goals. With complex rules and variable player powers, Westphalia is a challenging and engaging game that requires strategic thinking and negotiation skills. Designed by Amabel Holland, this 2019 game is perfect for experienced board game players looking for a unique and immersive experience.
