Here I Stand Board Game (500th Anniversary Edition)

Takatilauksesta

GMT GamesSKU: 70743

Here I Stand is the first card-driven game to prominently feature secret deal-making.
A true six-sided diplomatic struggle, the game places a heavy emphasis on successful alliance-building through negotations that occur away from the table during the pre-turn Diplomacy Phase. Set during the period in which Niccolo Machiavelli published his masterpiece "The Prince," backstabbing is always possible, especially because the card deck is loaded with event and response cards that can be played by any power to disrupt the plans of the powers in the lead.
Here I Stand is an innovative game system, being the first to integrate religion, politics, economics and diplomacy in a card-driven design.
Games vary in length from 3-4 hours for a tournament scenario up to full campaign games that run about twice the time.
Rules to play games with 3, 4, or 5 players are also included. The 3-player game is just as well balanced as the standard 6-player configuration, taking advantage of the natural alliances of the period.
