About this board game

The Great War in Europe is a two-player or two-team game with an approximately 360-minute playing time, simulating the major European campaigns of the First World War.

Beginning in August 1914 and continuing to the armistice, the game places players in control of the political and military high commands of the Central Powers and the Allies. Each side conducts operations across the principal European theaters of the conflict.

The game covers campaigns in four key areas:

  • The Western Front
  • The Eastern Front
  • Italy
  • The Balkans

This broad scope presents the First World War as a connected struggle involving multiple fronts. Players guide their chosen alliance while managing operations across these distinct theaters, representing the decisions and responsibilities of the opposing high commands.

Designed for either direct two-player competition or play by two teams, The Great War in Europe focuses on the campaigns that shaped the war from its opening in 1914 through the armistice. Released in 1995, it offers an extended simulation for players interested in the political and military dimensions of the conflict.
