"Card Game for 2-4+ players. The Thirty Years War took place in Germany from 1618-1648. The main adversaries were the Catholics and the Protestants. Each player takes the role of a Military Contractor of the age. The goal is to use your skill as a general and an entrepreneur to amass wealth and fame." Each player creates a Leader character with three random traits (skills). Each Leader has a Reputation score, which starts at 0 and is increased or decreased based on the Leader's performance in campaigns. A Leader gains gold each turn based on the value of his employment contract. An additional random amount of gold is gained each turn for "savings, investments, contributions, estate incomes, financial backers, looting, etc." "Victory: When the deck runs out, the player with the most Gold wins. If two players are tied, the player with the highest Reputation score wins."
