A 100,000-strong Ottoman army arrives at the gates of Vienna, the Habsburg capital. Inside, 12,000 infantry, along with a city militia and citizen-soldiers, prepare for a desperate defense. As the Ottoman siege lines inch closer to the city walls, the outnumbered Viennese cling to the slim hope that a relief force will arrive in time to save them. For both sides, the real battle is a race against time.

Fire & Stone: Siege of Vienna 1683 immerses you in one of history's most dramatic sieges. With each player wielding a unique set of cards, you'll conduct lethal assaults against formidable fortifications, dig explosive-packed tunnels, and launch daring attacks to slow your enemy's advance. Alternatively, you can play powerful events capable of altering the battle's outcome! The game also includes historical notes about the siege and 17th-century siege warfare, though prior knowledge is not required to play.
