Description
A Column of Fire is a game of power and influence set in Europe during the time of Elizabeth I. Players take on the roles of Catholics and Protestants competing for control in England, France, Spain, and the Netherlands. With easy-to-learn rules, 2 to 4 players can dive into this world of political intrigue, plotting to secure power for their rulers through resourceful operatives and courageous secret agents. As the balance of power shifts, players must navigate foiled assassinations, successful rebellions, and futile invasions to emerge victorious. The game is not just about rival religions, but about the battle between those who believe in tolerance and compromise and those who would impose their ideas on others. With a playtime of 60 to 90 minutes, A Column of Fire is a thrilling game of strategy and skill, designed by Michael Rieneck and published in 2017.
