Description:

Greetings,

'After Bonaparte' is an board game under development by Ragnar Krempel and
Joris Wiersinga. People are invited to help fine-tune its rules, by
playing it by email at After_Bonaparte@yahoogroups.com. To be able to
play-test by email, you need to be able to receive email with attachments
and to be able to view bitmaps. Membership of yahoogroups would also be
nice, but if a problem, it could be cirvumvented ;-).

Thank you for taking an interest,

Ragnar Krempel

And finally, a short description of the game:

After Bonaparte is a game of economic growth, scientific development and
short, intensive Blitzkriegs. It is also a game of diplomacy and
infrastructure.  Only the player whose economy is tip-top can hope to win
the high-cost military encounters of 19th century Europe. After Bonaparte
is best suitable to 3-6 players and takes about 1.5 hours. (For play by
email, it depends on the speed at which players hand in the turns. We
estimate a game could be finished within a few months, but probably
faster.)"
