Europe Divided

In Europe Divided, you will take control of one of the two powers: Western Europe (controlling both NATO and the European Union) or Russia. You will wage wars of political and military influence, vying for control over Central and Eastern Europe as well as the Caucasus. Western Europe is powerful and rich, but bureaucratic and slow to react. Russia lacks Europes resources, but can respond rapidly.

Europe Divided is rich with history, but features a quick-playing card-driven core mechanic. Players use cards associated with countries they control to establish political and military influence, gain money, and build and deploy their military strength. An elegant deck-manipulation mechanism weakens players’ decks as they grow their influence, creating a tension point between seeking to expand and over-reaching. Players also compete over key political events throughout the game. Will the Velvet Divorce result in the split of the Czech Republic and Slovakia? How will the Bosnian War end? The players will decide the fate of history throughout this period of Europe Divided.

The goal of Europe Divided is to earn more Prestige than your opponent by winning key historical events and gaining dominance over contested regions.
