Baltic Empires

“The fear of invasion, the concern to keep possible invasion-ports out of the hands of enemies, reinforced a determination not to permit the existence of a hostile fleet within the Baltic. This determination found expression in the concept dominium maris Baltici.”
               – Michael Roberts, The Swedish Imperial Experience
 

Baltic Empires is an approachable 2-5 player strategy game about conflicts between the states of the Baltic region during the early modern era, a transformative period of religious conflict, large scale warfare, and constant struggles for power. Players will have to develop their economy, strengthen their administration, secure trade hubs, and finally build armies to become the dominant power of the Baltics. Denmark-Norway, Sweden, Russia, Poland-Lithuania, and Prussia will fight for hegemony, using variable victory conditions that reflect their respective historical objectives.
