MAURICE

War in an Age of Gentlemen and Philosophers, 1690-1790

Maurice is a delightful combination of tabletop miniatures rules for historical and fictional battles, a limitless campaign system that requires virtually no math or paperwork, and a role-playing game in which the “characters” are officers, units, and armies, whose personalities you create, and whose fates you manage from battle to battle across wars and decades.

Maurice is intended to represent the age of linear armies, from the wars of Louis XIV and Marlborough, through the great dynastic struggles of the mid-century, to the French Revolution.

The game’s mechanics “stretch” so that you can use it for any scale you desire. You can play the little battles in the colonies or the American Revolution, or the great pitched battles of the European wars.

Can I Use it For Imagi-Nations?

Absolutely! In fact, Maurice is the first set of rules specifically created with imagi-nations in mind. The same creation process that you can use to replicate a historical army for a scenario, is used to create a fictitious army with its own unique personality.

Playing Maurice requires:

1) The Maurice rulebook (available in print or PDF), available in our webstore.

-and-

2) The Maurice card set, which contains 108 high-quality playing cards enabling you to play the full advanced game with the "Notables" (famous personalities), the "Succession Wars" campaign, and to create fictional and Design-Your-Own 18th century armies. The original Maurice card set sold out, but is now available print-on-demand from DriveThru Cards.
