Clash of Sovereigns (engl.)

Beschreibung

Clash of Sovereigns (engl.) is a strategy game for 2 to 4 players aged 12+ with a playing time of 180 to 720 minutes. Set during the War of the Austrian Succession, players lead competing powers in a card-driven conflict spanning Europe and beyond, reflecting the complex dynastic ambitions and global stakes of the 1740s.

December 1740: Young King Frederick II leads the army of upstart Prussia in a surprise invasion of Austrian Silesia. He hopes for a swift conquest of this wealthy province, taking advantage of the Austrian Empire’s apparent weakness following the death of Charles VI, King of Austria and Holy Roman Emperor. Yet Austria’s new ruler, Maria Theresa, faces internal opposition to the Pragmatic Sanction that allowed her to inherit the throne, and remains undeterred—not only by Frederick’s advances but also by France’s plan to install a Bavarian puppet as Holy Roman Emperor and Spain’s ambitions in Italy. Against this backdrop of competing dynastic claims, Frederick’s regional victory marks only the opening of a larger conflict that the great powers neither expected nor could ignore. This war would last eight years and affect territories far beyond Europe. Clash of Sovereigns (COS) is GMT’s card-driven game covering the War of the Austrian Succession. Designed for 2 to 4 players, it offers a streamlined and faster-playing experience compared to its predecessor, Clash of Monarchs (COM), while preserving deep strategic choices. The game reflects nine years of development, balancing historical complexity with engaging gameplay.
