Radetzky: Milano 1848

About this board game

Radetzky: Milano 1848 is a cooperative board game for 1–5 players, with games lasting about 90 minutes. Players take the roles of the people of Milano as they rise against the Austrian Empire, represented by Austrian soldiers and their leader, Field Marshal Joseph Radetzky.

The city is divided into 16 areas, and every turn gives each player up to three actions. Movement, abilities, hand management, territorial control, and combat all contribute to the struggle for Milano.

• Move to a different area
• Use a special ability or increase its effect
• Refill your hand
• Conquer a territory
• Fight Austrian Soldiers or Field Marshal Radetzky

Fights are at the heart of the game. Players must respond to Austrian cards by choosing the appropriate cards from their hands. When two or more players share an area, they can join forces and fight together, creating opportunities for cooperation as they confront the Austrian opposition.

Players may continue fighting until they choose to stop, or until the battle reaches a conclusion through victory or defeat. The game ends when one of the two factions conquers five of the city’s 16 areas, making territorial progress central to the outcome.

With its historical setting, cooperative decisions, shared battles, and hand-based responses, Radetzky: Milano 1848 places the players in the middle of a tense uprising. Coordinate your actions, support fellow rebels, and determine whether Milano’s revolt can overcome the Austrian forces.
