Friedrich 3rd Edition

The year is 1756. Frederick the Great faces the grim reality that half of Europe has formed an alliance against him. Deeply troubled, he sees their aim as the annihilation of Prussia.

Thus, he launches a preemptive strike against Saxony, which surrenders weeks later. But this is only the first chapter of what would become known as the Seven Years' War! Prussia is completely surrounded by its enemies, the greatest continental powers in Europe. England and Hanover are her only allies. For Prussia, the situation is simple: To be or not to be.

Soon, the Prussian house is on fire. France has conquered northern Germany. Austria has invaded Silesia. Russian hordes cross the Oder River, and Berlin is only five days' march away!

Frederick is relentless. He rushes desperately from crisis to crisis within his strategic triangle, managing to control one enemy only for another to take advantage of his absence. After six long years of struggle, Prussia seems doomed to fall...

Frederick is saved by a miracle. The Russian Empress Elizabeth dies, and her successor, who has an almost boundless admiration for Frederick, immediately makes peace. Sweden soon follows suit, and a bankrupt France does the same a year later. Prussia is saved.

In the game FRIEDRICH for 3 or 4 players: All against one. But only one will reign supreme. On a map of Old Europe, players maneuver their generals from city to city. Frederick must retain part of each Prussian province, while the attacking powers ruthlessly pursue their goals. The smart use of tactical cards is crucial to victory.

Combining the fascination of board and card games, FRIEDRICH and its unique and innovative concept offer vast opportunities for brilliant chess-like moves and deep decision-making.
