2. Victory and Glory: Napoleon

Victory and Glory: Napoleon Trailer

Next on our list is Victory and Glory: Napoleon. This game is in our number 2 spot because it is a fast-paced strategy game that forces you to play as the villain. As Napoleon Bonaparte, players attempt to take over Europe. Stopping you from dominating the entire continent is Great Britain along with a handful of allies. The game can be played with friends online or against an AI. Regardless of how you play, you’ll always play as Napoleon.

Napoleon prefers to fly the French flag at a great height, probably due to his shortness.

In six different campaigns, players take turns moving across the board. As you lead France to victory, you’ll also lead land and naval units in battle with anyone who tries to stop you. Event cards grant special abilities while political points can be used for engaging in diplomatic relations (spoiler alert: this diplomacy is just Napoleon declaring war. A lot.). The game ends when Napoleon or his opposing forces win the continent of Europe.

I remember when I defeated Austria. Good times.
