No Peace Without Spain, 2nd Edition

No Peace Without Spain, 2nd Edition is a two-player strategic wargame covering the War of the Spanish Succession.

Players command the Bourbon and Alliance forces in the struggle for the Spanish throne after the death of Carlos II. Action cards drive movement and sieges, while event cards introduce historical developments and sudden shifts of fortune. Each turn represents one year, with corps-sized formations and major commanders shaping the campaign.

The game highlights the importance of leadership and cooperation between commanders, with figures such as Marlborough, Eugene, Villars, Vendôme, and Berwick influencing battles through tactical and command ratings. Fortresses are equally central, reflecting an era where sieges often mattered as much as open battle.

With a point-to-point map, a single card deck, and moderate complexity, this is a clean and accessible strategic treatment of one of Europe’s great dynastic wars.

Contents include: one mounted 22” x 34” map, one rule and scenario booklet, two player aid cards, one 55-card deck, one sheet of 168 0.65” counters, ten six-sided dice, and a box with lid.
