What is Downfall of Empires

Downfall of Empires is an army level World War I strategy simulation wargame designed with the goal of creating a fluid, historical and fast game.

This is a game with only 4 pages of rules that works perfectly as an introductory wargame, lasts 18 turns, can be played from 2 to 4 players (Germany, Austria-Hungary, Allies and Russia) and can be completed in less than 3 hours.

Each turn, each player has 2 or 3 actions (depending on which side they control) that they can use to move or attack with their armies, build trenches, conduct diplomacy with non-aligned countries, reinforce their armies or secretly develop technologies.

At the end of the game someone will win with most victory points obtained by controlling key areas on the map.

I have played it at DAU Barcelona and the feelings were very good. I look forward its launch on Kickstarter.

Si bien en un principio me llamó mucho la atención por sus aciertos, varias partidas después acabé desencantado. Testear el siguiente juego del autor, Hegemony, aún en etapas tempranas de desarrollo, confirmó mis emociones encontradas. Pruébalo y decide por ti mismo. Por su duración y adaptabilidad al número de jugadores puede ver mesa con cierta facilidad.
