Megagame Makers: A News Age Dawns

Megagames are large games involving teams of players. The subject matter can range from politics, economics, history, science fiction and heroic fantasy. Much of what goes on might be described as roleplaying – though there is also a large element of problem solving, strategy, negotiation – and of course, humour.

This game is concerned with the struggles between the major nation states of the late eighteenth century at a time when the French Revolution had brought sweeping changes to the world. There are player teams for Britain, Spain, France, Prussia, Austria, Russia and the Ottoman Empire.
