Experience the drama and destruction of one of history’s most infamous disasters in The Great Fire of London 1666. Step into the role of a wealthy landowner as the flames spread through the city, and the fate of London hangs in your hands.

On Sunday, September 2, 1666, a forgotten hearth fire in the bakery of Thomas Farriner, baker to the King, ignited a devastating inferno that would destroy over 13,000 houses and leave nearly 90 percent of London’s population homeless. In this immersive strategy board game, players must balance self-interest with civic duty as they work to stop the fire from consuming the city.

As one of London’s elite citizens, you command trained bands of militia to fight the flames and use explosives to create firebreaks that prevent further destruction. Every decision matters: will you protect your own properties and sacrifice your rivals, or rise as the hero who saves the city’s landmarks and earns the admiration of its people?

Victory awaits the player with the most property surviving after the ashes settle, but true glory may come to those who save London itself.

The Great Fire of London 1666 is perfect for players who enjoy historical strategy game.
