![]() The final included items include a small deck of random event cards, a die, a set of markers, and the rulebooks. Incidentally, though the soot came off on my fingers, it never stained the counters themselves. Brand new counters will wear off some soot from production, especially the black colored Prussians, so the napkin was a nice touch. Included with the counters is one of the more unique accessories I’ve come across in a war game, a napkin. Special units, such as guards or elites, have color coded numbers for easy identification. Each contains only two numbers representing attack and movement. The counters themselves are uncluttered and colorful. This may seem inconsequential considering the a battle consists of few counters, but it’s a nice feature, especially when several units start clashing together. Both battles have beautifully rendered maps, but the most impressive thing is how they have a small footprint on the table yet have larger sized hexes so the counters never feel cluttered together. Hundred Days 20 is certainly eye-catching from the start. The Waterloo scenario is the third edition of the battle. In this edition, the battles of Tolentino and the slightly more recognizable Waterloo are included. These games are meant to be set up and played quickly while still offering a good challenge. The series busts the myth that war games must be month long affairs played in spaces the size of aircraft hangars. The 20 represents the maximum number of counters used in each battle. It’s not enough to say that Hundred Days 20 is a good game but rather deciding if it stands out in a sea of worthy Napoleonic titles.įor those unfamiliar with Victory Point Games’ series, Hundred Days 20 is the latest in a long line of Napoleonic 20 games. Half of those have a rating of at least 7 and a good chunk of that includes games that recreate Napoleon’s crushing defeat at Waterloo in some way. But does that really tell you anything? After all, BoardGameGeek’s library includes nearly 300 Napoleonic games that have at least 25 reviews. I could save everyone the trouble of reading the rest of the review and let you know that Victory Point’s Hundred Days 20 is a good game.
