Revolution
 |
Revolution¸ The Dutch Revolt simulates the Eighty Years? War between Spain and the Netherlands. This epic struggle lasted from 1568 until1648 and eventually brought independence toHolland and the northern provinces. In the south¸the revolt was less successful and Belgium did notemerge as an independent state until after theNapoleonic era. Revolution is a game of skill for 2 to 5 players. Itdepicts a power struggle in which each playerrepresents one of the principal factions involved¸the Catholics¸ Habsburgs¸ Nobility¸ Burghers andReformers. Some factions tend to have similaroutlooks but they are not allies - each has its ownmotives and objectives. This game is not a detailed military re-enactment of the Eighty Years' War. It tries to capture the flavorof these interesting times in a much broader sense. It contains an element of warfare in the form ofbattles and sieges but the main theme is built on economic¸ religious and political control. The constantlyshifting balance of power¸ caused by temporary alliances¸ makes Revolution an immenselychallenging game.
