Sound of Drums - 1793 Patriots and Traitors The French Revolution Year II For more than three years now, the banner of Revolution has been fluttering over France. Sure, the old structure has fallen but still the people clamour for change. There is a shortage of bread and on the borders the Austrians and Prussians are ready to invade. The press has become mighty popular, publicly denouncing traitors and calling the populace to arms. There are some that believe that the Revolution has gone far enough, but for others it has yet to begin. The land bubbles with intrigue and unrest. These are dangerous times. Now that the monarchy under Louis XVI has fallen, who will dare to take the reins as the nation crumbles? 1793: Patriots & Traitors recreates the chaos that tore up France in the years 1792-1794 as it has never been done before! Each of the players belong to a political faction, each with their own objective. Although engaged in a brutal political tug-of-war, they WILL have to work together to prevent the armies of Austria, Prussia and Sardinia-Piedmont from reaching Paris, thereby crushing the Revolution and ending the game prematurely…for everyone!
