Frederick the Great: The Campaigns of The Soldier King 1756-1759 (1975)

About this game

Frederick the Great is an operational level wargame on the Seven Years War between Frederick the Great's Prussia (and allied Hanover) and the anti-Prussian coalition consisting of France, Austria, Russia and a host of European countries. There are seven scenarios, each covering one year of campaigning. The game consists of a map covering most of central Europe, rules and counters depicting the important leaders and generic strength points representing armies.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• Rules load. At 2.7/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 12 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
