About this game
This is the earliest game to show specific Napoleonic battles. The spiral track traces Napoleon's later campaigns and has spaces showing the burning of Moscow in 1812, Napoleon's exile to and escape from Elba, and his final battle at Waterloo in 1815. It was published in the Netherlands just one year after Waterloo, and the central illustration shows one of the results: the marriage of the Prince of Orange (later King William II of Netherlands) to Anna Pavlovna, sister of Tsar Alexander I. The marriage, which took place on on February 21, 1816, at the Chapel of the Winter Palace in St Petersburg, was a symbol of the alliance created after the Congress of Vienna.
