About the Game

This is a standalone game using the Limits of Glory system to examine the impact of events on the Civil War in the Vendee in 1793. Will you fight for the Republic or For God and the King?

The French Revolution was not welcomed by all in France. The staunchly Catholic and Royalist leaning Vendee Militaire was a region unwilling to sacrifice its youth to the voracious appetite of the Republic's military conscription machine, and the people of the Vendee were prepared to fight to defend their beliefs.

In Donning the Sacred Heart you take the role of either the Vendee Catholic Royalists, or the Republicans.

The Limits of Glory series examines the effect of 'skill and luck' on the commanders present in a campaign. A Glory rating is attributed to all the significant participants in the campaign, made up from the skill they exhibited and the luck from which they benefited. Players must make difficult decisions as to when to use their commanders Glory to mitigate the situation on the board to their advantage by attempting to change unfavourable events as the campaign unfolds.
