El Generale is a light wargame. Players are leaders of small countries, that want to reach a certain position on the international scene. The main goal is to accumulate the most money at the end of the sixth turn of the game. Every player starts with his own country, the same amount of money, people and the same infrastructure. And of course a handful of Generals for their army. During the game each player has to invest in the military strength (defense and offense), transportation and hospitals to see his country grow. Attacking other players weakens their ability to generate money. But no one should forget about defense.
