Description

With similar mechanisms from the famous Sekigahara and later Granada, last stand of the Moors.

The King in the North is a game for 2 players that represents the first Civil War called the Carlist War that took place between 1833 and 1839, among the Carlists, supporters of the Infant Carlos María Isidro de Borbón and an absolutist regime, and the so called Liberals, Cristinos or Isabelinos, defenders of Isabel II and the regent María Cristina de Borbón, whose government was in the modest absolutist origins and eventually became liberal to obtain greater popular support.
Although the war spanned most of Spain, mainly in the Basque Country, Navarra, Catalonia, Aragon and Valencia, in this game only the fighting in the North is represented.

—description from the designer

It is surprising that Spain's First Carlist War remains Europe's most neglected nineteenth-century civil war in the English scholarship. This lacuna is unworthy of the conflict's importance. It was both the last great European conflict of the pre-industrial age and an iconic moment in the pan-European struggle between liberalism and absolutism.
From the book "With the British Legion: A Story of the Carlist Wars" by G.A. Henty

El Rey en el Norte es un juego para 2 jugadores que representa la primera Guerra Civil llamada Guerra Carlista que tuvo lugar entre 1833 y 1839, entre los Carlistas, partidarios del Infante Carlos María Isidro de Borbón y de un régimen absolutista, y los Isabelinos, defensores de Isabel II y de la regente María Cristina de Borbón, cuyo gobierno fue en los orígenes absolutista moderado y acabó convirtiéndose en liberal para obtener mayor apoyo popular. Aunque la guerra se desarrolló en varias regiones de España, País Vasco, Navarra, Cataluña, Aragón y Valencia, en este juego sólo se representa la que tuvo lugar en el Norte.
Un jugador llevará el bando Isabelino formado por cinco facciones: Guardia Real, Ejercito Regular, Milicias, Chapelgorris y Legión Extranjera.
