Step into the boots of the young Captain Napoleon Bonaparte in 1793, a turbulent period in post-Revolutionary France. In "I, Napoleon," you're not just a player, but the future Emperor himself, experiencing his rise in a solo RPG and card game. With 220 beautifully illustrated cards, divided into decks like Commander, First Consul, and Emperor, you'll navigate politics, military campaigns, and diplomacy, all while managing France's well-being and your own personal life – including family, spouses, and even mistresses and illegitimate children.

The game unfolds over an early 19th-century map of Europe, with card boxes where you play the crucial events of your life and career. Tracks and tables mark the passage of time and events affecting you and the nation. Your choices with the cards you draw are the engine of success or failure. You'll have to deal with internal crises, external threats, conspiracies, and even historical figures like Wellington, Nelson, and Talleyrand. History is yours to shape, with paths that can lead from Corsica to Egypt, Spain to Russia, from exile to a throne. Each playthrough offers a unique narrative, influenced by luck and your decisions, with different starting points and challenges depending on the phase of your career you choose to begin. Prepare for a deep dive into history, where every decision counts and the fate of France and Europe rests in your hands.
