The War of the Empires 1914-1918 is a turn-based war game for up to 6 players, with two confronted sides: Central power vs Entente (the number of players on each side doesn't need to be equal). The number of army units of every country in the game is proportional to the real military powers at the begining of the First World War. This is Sven Nemet's game before he become a boardgame geek (it was made in 1997). The duration of the game can be up to 4 hours, but there are also shorter versions, for example Russian empire against Austria-Hungary for 2 players (cca. 45 minutes). Die is used for fighting, but bonuses can be added to the number rolled on die if you: have a double number of units in a fight, have surrounded your enemy, have modernized your units, have used a tactical advantage card… You can buy infantry, ships, planes, harbours... Both sides draw event cards in every round – Russian winter, famine, the possibility to get some neutral country to fight on your side, American intervention etc. There is the factor of luck in the game, but hey, it adds to the excitement! Go and let the best one win!
