An Epic on your Tabletop

The dawn of history was not far past when the fierce nomadic Aryans swept down from the steppes of Central Asia to overrun the pastoral Harappan civilization and tribal Dravidians who flourished on the subcontinent of India. Theirs was but the first of many invasions of this rich land. great empires would wax and wane, as mighty leaders took their peoples to new heights of glory and power. As the 15th Century drew to a close, a new element was added to the already volatile mix: two Portuguese trading ships came to the Malabar coast. The Europeans had arrived. For the next three-and-a-half centuries wars and migrations tore the subcontinent apart, until the British - with their defeat of the formidable Sikhs in 1849 - established the Raj and declared their Queen Victoria, Empress of India.

Maharaja is Avalon Hill's multi-player game of 3000+ years of Indian history beginning with the Aryan invasions form the north and ending with the unification under British rule. In this sister game to the award-winning Britannia, each player controls several nationalities. Nations gain Victory Points in various ways - such as occupying specified areas of the map at specified times, eliminating the pieces of other nations, and for having the leader of your nation proclaimed "Great King" of India.

Each nation consists of several playing pieces, most of them armies, a player moves these on the board and may use them to attack pieces controlled by other players. Nations acquire additional pieces through the natural increase of population and through reinforcements from their homelands. At the end of 16 turns, the player whose nations have accumaulated the largest number of Victory Points wins.

But there is more in this package than just a way to pass a few enjoyable hours. Maharaja is a wonderful education for any gamer. Extensive notes of his fascinting art of our world the epic weep of its history, and the pieples who have shaped its culture, are included in the rules booklet. All are supported by distinctive and colorful art that brings the mysterious East to live.

Like India herself beckoned the Alexandder, Timur Albuquerque and Clive, Maharaja will seduce anyone seeking a new horizon - even if it is limited to but a tabletop. An epic ... in the box.
