A Battle Through History with Sabaton in Late March

Feb 9, 2022

Arriving next month from Pegasus Spiele is the time traveling combat game A Battle Through History. In the game, players will take on the roles of a member of the heavy metal band Sabaton as they fight in historical conflicts through time. A Battle Through History is for two to five players, ages 14+, plays in one to two hours, and will carry an MSRP of $59.99 when it arrives in late March.

About the game:

In A Battle Through History, each player wears the clothes of a time-traveling storyteller whose journey through historical eras enables them to relive epic battles alongside legendary troops and heroes. During a game, players play era tiles into the “Gear of History” to customize their deck of cards and move their character in space and time in order to fight and recruit troops from different historical battles or challenge opponents in player vs. player combat. As you build an army made of soldiers from different ages, you use it to collect relics from different places and times. Whoever collects the greatest units and the bravest heroes, leads them to victory, and gathers relics during their travels wins the game.

In A Battle through History, you become a Sabaton—a time-traveling storyteller jumping through history so you can relive epic (and often unlikely!) battles alongside legendary troops and heroes. Your success will depend on the skills of the warriors you recruit during your travels, but even more on your willingness to dare or defend. Every battle is a great challenge… Every battle is different! Are you ready to become a real Sabaton?

A Battle Through History, designed and published by Scribabs and released worldwide by Pegasus Spiele, is the official Sabaton board game, featuring a unique “gear and rack” action system, fight-based deck-building, 60 different historical troops, and eight famous heroes from different eras.
