Wallenstein is set during the Thirty Years' War, when military leaders roamed the country, fighting for dominance while building palaces and churches.

Collect victory points by controlling countries and developing them, but don't forget the peasants!

Battles are fought using the dice tower, but rather than randomizing the faces, this tower keeps some of the cubes! The winner of the battle is determined by the number of the attacker's and defender's armies that emerge from the tower.

Included in this edition of Wallenstein are two expansions: "Emperor's Court" -- which adds special abilities via the Emperor's favor -- and "Landsknechte" - a variant rewards those who control four regions.
