Maria

Maria is a strategic board game set during the War of the Austrian Succession (1740-1748), featuring Austria against Prussia, France, Bavaria, and Saxony; supported by Great Britain, Hanover, and the Netherlands. Primarily designed for three players, one plays as Austria, another as France and Bavaria, and the third controls both Prussia and the Pragmatic Army, with the game's map split into Flanders and Bohemia. Inspired by the Friedrich: Anniversary Edition, Maria incorporates unique aspects like politics, force marches, and Prussia's annexation of Silesia. The game can be played as a quick introduction or a longer, deeper experience with simultaneous campaigns.
