Description
From 1563 to 1598, a civil war raged across the kingdom of France, involving all neighbouring countries. It pitted the last kings of the Valois line, the Protestants Huguenots and the Ultracatholics League. Part diplomacy game, part wargame, The Wars of Religion let you remake history. Each turn, you will use your supporters at court to improve your position in the kingdom. Then you will try to solve the struggle on the battlefield. You have six turns to prove that God is on your side. Remember, «Paris vaut bien une messe !» —description from the publisher
