After creating the Berestechko 1651 Unboxing the time has come to present to Dear Readers the actual rules and gameplay. The title is not overly complex, with explanation of the main concepts taking around 10-15 minutes. Still, it has some very interesting nuances, like Coordination, Organization Tatar morale, Cossack Tabors or special bonuses of Infantry vs Tatars. All of it creates deep and immersive experience – although on a pretty small footprint.

Just a reminder that Berestechko 1651 is a game for two players simulating the third day of the battle of Berestechko, fought on 30th June 1651 between the Zaporozhian Cossacks, led by Hetman Bohdan Khmelnitsky and aided by their Crimean Tatar allies, and a Polish-Lithuanian army under King John II Casimir, near the Styr river in Volhynia. It was one of the largest land battles of 17th century Europe – with approximately 300 thousand combatants on both sides.

And now let me invite you to the play-through:

Enjoy!
