Congress of Vienna (CoV) invites you into the heart of a pivotal moment in European history, blending diplomacy and strategic warfare in an exhilarating card-driven experience.

As the third installment in GMT’s acclaimed “Great Statesmen” series, following the successes of Churchill and Pericles, this game immerses players in the intense struggles between the fallen Napoleonic Empire and a formidable coalition of Russia, Austria, and Great Britain, bolstered by their Prussian, Spanish, Portuguese, and Swedish allies.

Set in the aftermath of Napoleon's catastrophic 1812 retreat from Moscow, the game covers the transformative years of 1813 and 1814. Players will navigate a dynamic game map that spans from the Iberian Peninsula to the borders of Poland and Prussia, showcasing strategic locations vital for military triumph. Italy serves as a secondary front, while maritime warfare and the British/American War of 1812 add further layers of complexity to the gameplay.

Congress of Vienna seamlessly blends diplomatic negotiations with strategic military operations, ensuring that participants maintain the spirit of the iconic battles of the Napoleonic era. With all necessary tables for gameplay conveniently printed on the game board, players will find it easy to immerse themselves in the historical conflict.

The game concludes under specific conditions:

  • A Major Power achieves 80 Victory Points (VP) or more at the end of any game turn.
  • Napoleon surrenders during a turn.
  • The current scenario reaches its final turn.

Engage in this thrilling reenactment of history and experience the drama, tension, and strategic depth of the Congress of Vienna!
