Boze Igrzysko: MAGNACI (The Magnates)

Vorwort

Boże Igrzysko: MAGNACI (MAGNATES) is a board game designed for 2 - 5 players, with the game time not exceeding 90 minutes. The game presents the history of Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, from its heyday during the Union of Lublin (XVI century) until the collapse of the state (XVIII century).

Players take on the roles of the magnates, who seek to develop the power of their families in the favorable time: the peak of the Polish and Lithuanian Union.

Each player has a deck of cards, depicting celebrities of his family. Some of them are capable of great deeds and some will spoil any project that they entrust... But with good player's decisions, even those small, could do for his family a lot.

During the game, players will manage the deck of their characters to achieve, in competition with others, as much as possible on each of the planes of life of the Republic. The fate of the country will be the result of the sum of the activities of most powerful aristocratic families. If the players confuse in a mutual fight for titles and advantages, the Republic will fall under the pressure of neighboring powers.

The game reimplements the Boże Igrzysko (2010) game by Martin Wallace. It uses the same subtitle, with an agreement of the author.
