Capstone Games has revealed the upcoming release of Fire & Stone: Siege of Vienna 1683. The game is a lightweight historical game focusing on the historic Ottoman advance against the Habsburg Holy Roman Empire’s Leopold I and the city of Vienna. Fire & Stone: Siege of Vienna 1683 is for two players, ages 14+, plays in 60 to 90 minutes, and will carry an MSRP of $49.95 when it hits stores this October. If you preorder directly from Capstone you’ll also receive two exclusive tactics cards as well.
About the game:
A 100,000-strong Ottoman army arrives outside the Habsburg capital of Vienna. Inside the city, 12,000 infantry, a city militia, and citizen-soldiers mount a desperate defense. As the Ottoman siege lines draw closer to the city walls, the outnumbered Viennese cling to the faint hope a relief force will arrive in time to save them. For both sides, the real battle is a race against time.
Fire & Stone: Siege of Vienna 1683 places you in one of the most dramatic sieges in history. With a completely different set of cards for each player, you will conduct deadly assaults against impenetrable fortifications, dig tunnels packed with explosives, and launch desperate attacks to delay your enemy’s advance. Or you can play powerful events with the power to change the course of battle!
Includes historical notes about the siege and 17th century siege warfare (knowledge not required to play the game).
