Revolution: The Dutch Revolt simulates the Eighty Years' War (1568-1648) between Spain and the Netherlands, leading to northern independence while Belgium remained under Spanish rule. Players represent key factions—Catholics, Habsburgs, Nobility, Burghers, and Reformers—pursuing varied goals, often shifting alliances in a complex blend of economic, religious, and political strategies. Designed by Francis Tresham, it emphasizes broader historical themes rather than solely military tactics.
