Versailles 1919

Welcome to the post-World War I conference room! In Versailles 1919, you step into the shoes of one of the four major leaders (Wilson, Lloyd George, Orlando, or Clemenceau) attempting to shape the Treaty of Versailles after the conflict's end. Each leader has their own national agenda and regional aspirations to satisfy, from containing Germany to establishing new nations or pursuing self-determination. The game simulates the tense negotiations and political maneuvering of the era, where every decision matters. Will you use influence auctions to pass issues that benefit your country, balancing the need to demobilize troops with controlling regional unrest? The specter of Bolshevism looms, and Wilson's 14 Points create expectations that might lead to disappointment, especially if the US doesn't join the League of Nations. The game features an interesting card-bidding mechanism to resolve issues, requiring careful management of your influence to maintain domestic support. Regional crises and the aspirations of peoples like the Vietnamese, Syrians, or Jews emerge as challenges. Whoever manages to impose their vision and write more of the treaty will emerge victorious. It's a contest of wills and agendas, reliving the imperfect peace of the real world. Prepare for intense negotiation, strategic planning, and a deep dive into history.
