Anno Domini 1666

About this board game

Anno Domini 1666 is a tactical adventure miniatures game for two players, with sessions lasting around 120 minutes. Set in 17th-century Vienna, it casts rival bands into a secret conflict surrounding the looming election of the next Emperor.

Players face off across map boards depicting Vienna’s streets and districts, each covered by a grid. Rather than relying on dice rolls, the game uses cards played from hand or drawn blindly from a deck, giving every confrontation and risky action a distinct tactical character.

Scenarios define the goals of each game, and victory may require much more than defeating the opposing band. Depending on the situation, players might need to steal a valuable object, free a hostage, or overcome their rivals in combat.

• Historical fantasy setting: Inspired by real-world history and historical novels such as The Three Musketeers, with magic, alchemy, wizards, and fantastical creatures.
• Distinct factions: Build a band for the Poles, French, Ottomans, or the evil sect known as the Broken Cross.
• Additional allies: Vienna locals—including thugs, urchins, and merchants—and famous mercenaries can support your plans.
• Fast band building: A draft system streamlines the process of assembling your force.

Top-quality components include uniquely sculpted miniatures, sheets of counters, custom card decks, and multiple maps and scenarios. With its blend of swashbucklers, musketeers, thugs, and supernatural elements, Anno Domini 1666 offers scenario-driven skirmishes where positioning, card play, and changing objectives shape the struggle for Vienna’s future.
