Fire & Stone: Siege of Vienna 1683^*

Fire & Stone: Siege of Vienna 1683 is a two-player card game about the siege of Vienna, tense and ruled by a ticking clock.

What is it about?

A huge Ottoman army stands before Vienna. Inside, a far smaller force digs in to defend. One player attacks, the other holds the walls. For both sides, every round counts.

The game recreates one of history's most dramatic sieges. Each player has a completely separate set of cards.

How it plays

You launch assaults on the fortress, dig tunnels, and pack them with explosives. Strong events can swing the battle. The defender plays for time until relief arrives.

• A separate deck for each side
• Assaults, tunnels, and demolitions
• Events that turn the tide

A game step by step
