Holy Roman Empire (One Small Step Games)One Small Step Games has a second project up for crowdfunding on Kickstarter and this time the subject matter is the immensely destructive Thirty Years War. In Holy Roman Empire, up to six players vie for religious dominance and overall mastery of Europe in a game aimed at recreating the political and military landscapes of the 17th Century. There’s just over a week left to support the project – it’s already reached the funding goal – and you can grab a copy for a pledge of $65.00.

From One Small Step:

Holy Roman Empire is a political and military game of the 17th Century struggle for empire that plunged Europe into one of its longest and most destructive wars. Up to six players control the major dynasties of the era, fielding armies and navies and engaging in diplomatic intrigue and bribery to decide who will exercise control over Europe.

The year is 1619. Matthias, emperor of Germany, has gone to his grave. A year-old rebellion in the imperial province of Bohemia had divided the empire along religious and political lines. Bohemian rebels have elected a minor German prince, Frederick, elector Palatine, as their king. Protestant princelings rally to Frederick, elevating his status to that of a rival to Em­peror Ferdinand II, Archduke of Austria, for the imperial throne. As mercenary armies are raised against Ferdinand, the Catholic King of Spain and Duke of Bavaria rally to his side. France and Sweden turn their attention to Germany in eager anticipation of the dismemberment of their great rival, the Holy Roman Empire.
