About the Game

Everything you need to run a modern version of the game that started modern wargaming. Box has maps, counters and tracking sheets for the umpire, and 2 players (or teams).

Kriegsspiel is the original military simulation game, developed by the Prussian Army in the 1800s, designed to train officers by replicating the "fog of war" and command complexities, using an umpire to process double-blind orders on maps. It emphasizes realistic command, communication delays, and decision-making with limited information, inspiring today's modern wargames.

This version includes 10 scenarios, all using the same map.
