## Description
In 'Europe in Turmoil: Prelude to the Great War', you dive into early 20th-century Europe, where two political ideologies vie for supremacy. One player takes on the role of the Liberals, representing liberal and socialist principles, while the other embodies the Authoritarians, symbolizing the repressive regimes of Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Russia. The game is card-driven, with mechanics familiar to fans of 'Twilight Struggle' or '1989: Dawn of Freedom'. The map depicts Europe at the end of the Victorian era, dominated by four superpowers, while the rest of the nations are client states you must conquer to win. Historical events increase tension, leading to crisis rolls that could trigger World War I. Manage alliances, influence, and tension carefully to avoid chaos or exploit it for your victory.
