Republic of Virtue

Publisher: Hollandspiele

This was the 2021 Hollandays Sale freebie game. Two players assume the role of French politicians trying to keep their heads during the Reign of Terror

The game consists of 27 cards with a combination of suit (hearts, diamonds or spades), rank (2, 3 or 4) and sphere (Military, Politics, Mob and Wild).

Four cards exist in a market accessible to both players, cards bought from this are replaced as they are bought.

On their turn, a player either: Buys a card from the display, Plays a card from their hand to their Tableau or Use a card in their Tableau.

Three Crisis cards are shuffled into the deck, when these are bought from the market certain cards in player tableaus are purged and players score points. If either player scores 21 points they win, if that doesn’t happen before the third crisis, both players are swept up in the Thermidorian Reaction and are sent to the guillotine

Age of Hannibal

Publisher: Greg Wagman

Age of Hannibal resolves the largest battles of antiquity in a single evening on limited table space and flexible basing. Unlike many other rule systems available for the period, Age of Hannibal acknowledges the critical nature of pre-battle strategy in ancient warfare, when commanders sought the best possible ground for their armies. An innovative terrain card system allows players to create unique battlefields, while also incorporating elements of scouting, flank marches, or possible ambushes. This pre-game action resolves quickly, allowing you to get to the battle, where you command vast armies of 50,000 men or more.

For players who would rather revisit a famous historical battle, many scenarios are already researched and available, as well as a full campaign system for map-based play. Age of Hannibal also includes a chapter on conducting sieges, enabling you to design your own citadel or recreate historical epics like Carthage or Syracuse!
