One player is Austria, the second is France plus Bavaria, while the third player has the schizophrenic role of playing Prussia (Austria's enemy) and the Pragmatic Army (Austria's ally) at the same time. This is made possible by the division of the map into two parts, the Flanders map and the Bohemia map.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMARIA is derived from the award-winning \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.booyakajuice.com\/products\/friedrich\"\u003eFriedrich\u003c\/a\u003e, but has its very own character, including politics, hussars, force marches, imperial election, Saxony's betrayal and Prussia's annexation of Silesia. Subtle maneuvers, seizure of fortresses, prudent retreats, and Machiavellian politics are the keys to victory. However, players must be careful: whoever uses his Tactical Cards unwisely in battle can suddenly find himself not on the highway to glory but on the road to ruin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMARIA takes you to the era of the 18th century's ruthless struggle for power. It can be played in 2 variants: the shorter, simplified introductory game or the longer but richer advanced game, with its simultaneous campaigns in Bohemia and Flanders.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rio Grande Games","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":8444907290675,"sku":"RIO453","price":44.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/www.booyakajuice.com\/s\/files\/1\/0274\/9631\/products\/Maria_7a3395aa-e357-4cbb-ae28-3785020db96e.jpg?v=1578609411","url":"https:\/\/www.booyakajuice.com\/products\/maria-rio-grande-edition","provider":"booyakajuice","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
