Clash of Sovereigns is a 2-4 player card-driven game of the War of the Austrian Succession. The Bourbon (French, Spanish, Prussian) and Pragmatic (Austrian, British, Piedmont) alliances battle across central Europe from Paris to Konigsberg and Naples to London. Clash of Sovereigns features symmetrical armies with distinctive national characteristics and capabilities that have branded together in alliances that often struggle with conflicting goals. Both the Bourbons and Pragmatics will benefit - or suffer - from interactions among the various nations in their respective alliances. A host of belligerents (Spanish, French, British, Prussian, Austrian, Dutch, Russians, Vabavrians, Hannoverians, and more) and a vast theater of operations ensure that the game will never play the same way twice. Vienna may fall to the Prussians or French; Paris and Naples may see Austrian white uniforms in their streets; and London may be beset by Bonnie Prince Charlie or invading French troops. Will the French get Bavarian Charles VII onto the throne of the Holy Roman Empire? Will Louis XV and George II clash in Flanders? And will anyone be able to stop De Saxe?
