About this board game

Napoleon in Europe is a grand strategic and tactical board game for 2–7 players, with a standard play time of 360 minutes. Players take the role of a Napoleonic-era power and guide miniature infantry, cavalry, and artillery through campaigns across Europe.

The standard game presents the conflict on a map offering a broad view of the action. When armies clash, a separate battle board reflects tactical realities of the period, including combined arms, infantry square formations, and reserves.

Beyond movement and combat, the standard game incorporates several interconnected systems that broaden the scope of play. Players must account for diplomacy, fleets, and an economic system as they pursue their campaigns.
