200 years after his death in exile on the island of St. Helena, Napoleon Bonaparte remains a figure of fascination and controversy

More books have been written concerning Napoleon than any historical figure apart from Jesus, and the debate over his life and legacy continues to rage: Savior of the Revolution or its destroyer? Lawgiver or Tyrant? Great Captain or foolish gambler? Symbol of the Romantic Age or the greatest product of the Age of Reason? Where ever you come down in these arguments, Napoleon packed into his relatively brief life (1769-1821) enough events for a dozen lifetimes. It is a story on an epic scale of the son of minor Corsican nobility rising to the heights of power before losing it all. It is the stuff that games are made of.

I, Napoleon is a solitaire historical role-playing card game in which you step into the boots of Captain Buonoparte (as he still was) in the year 1793.

Your fate lies in 220 beautifully illustrated cards, divided into three decks: Commander, First Consul, and Emperor. Overlaying a map of early 19th Century Europe are a series of Card Boxes, where you play out the events of your life and career, along with various tracks and tables to record the yearly passage of time and the events affecting yourself and France. The choices you make with the cards you are dealt will determine success or failure. You will have to manage politics, military campaigns, diplomacy, and the domestic well-being of the French while pursuing the Glory that lures you on. You will also have to manage your family, your wives, your mistresses, and your children, legitimate and otherwise.

But there is not one version of a life here, but many. Every game will provide a different narrative, based on both luck of the draw and the decisions you make. In addition, you can start the game as a Commander, as First Consul, or as Emperor, each with its own starting situation and challenges. The story is yours to discover, and the decisions you make may just change the course of history.
