The new card-driven wargame from GMT Games. This Ed Beach-designed wargame came in the mail a few weeks ago.
A quote from Ed Beach's website:
"Here I Stand: Wars of the Reformation 1517-1555 is the first game in over 25 years to cover the political and religious conflicts of early 16th Century Europe. Few realize that the greatest feats of Martin Luther, Jean Calvin, Ignatius Loyola, Henry VIII, Charles V, Francis I, Suleiman the Magnificent, Ferdinand Magellan, Hernando Cortes, and Nicolaus Copernicus all fall within this narrow 40-year period of history. This game covers all the action of the period using a unique card-driven game system that models both the political and religious conflicts of the period on a single point-to-point map.Here I Stand! is an innovative game system, being the first to integrate religion, politics, economics and diplomacy in a card-driven design. There are six main powers in the game, each with a unique path to victory."
The box. The rulebook and scenario book are hefty volumes.
There are rules for Henry VIII and his many wives and his attempt at producing an heir. Hilarious!
The initial reports from Wei Yi and Timothy are that this is a fantastic game for six.

I was once in a brawl between some college kids and some of my fellow school of hard knockers.
I bet you own or have played a game depicting it :)
