Coalitions is a game of negotiation and conflict for 1-6 players set during the Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars. Players vie for the domination of Europe through skillful diplomatic maneuver, forming coalitions, plotting and the occasional betrayal, all the while expanding their empire to victory through winning battles and taking control of disputed territories. The very innovative and elegant game system perfectly allows a historical recreation of the conflicts but, better yet, can also create very plausible alternative histories.
There are six major powers in Coalitions. Each has home territories, famous generals, armies, and battle cards. There are no individual player turns in the game. Instead, at the start of each turn the Wheel of War rotates, and each nation has an Action to perform such as collecting funds, mobilizing troops, and moving them that could lead to combat. You win by accumulating enough Influence from controlling key territories and winning battles.
- Wheel of war - minimal downtime between turns
- Unique way of activating units and taking actions
- Heavy focus on diplomacy and war
