## Description
In *Hapsburg Eclipse*, you take command of the Austro-Hungarian Empire during World War I, struggling to survive the Russian onslaught and conquer the Serbs in the south. This solitaire *States of Siege* game pits you against multiple battlefronts while managing internal crises and growing German influence. Every choice matters: send troops to the Eastern Front? Suppress rebellions? And what happens when Romania and Italy join the fray? The pressure is relentless, and the empire’s collapse might be closer than you think. With card-driven events, dice rolls, and point-to-point movement, the game captures the chaos and complexity of war. Bonus: if you own *Ottoman Sunset* (its sister game), you can combine both for an even grander solo or cooperative experience. Can you prevent the Habsburg eclipse?
