Ultima Ratio Regis.

Ultima Ratio Regis, the definitive strategy game of the modern age.

Ultima Ratio Regis (uRR) is a grand strategy game for 1 to 8 players that recreates the military and political history of Early Modern Europe. From the discovery of the Americas to the prelude of the French Revolution, you will take command of the powers that vied for global hegemony between the 16th and 18th centuries.

The game spans 300 years of history divided into 20 turns of 15 years each (with an estimated duration of two to four hours per turn). Although the scale is massive, the game is organized into flexible scenarios that allow you to play through specific time periods.

The Complete Experience (Version 3.0)

With this release, the game reaches its maturity and is now complete. It is now possible to enjoy the full “Grand Campaign” (from 1480 to 1790) or play specific scenarios such as the “Wars of Religion,” the “Thirty Years’ War,” and many more.

We have deeply renovated the game compared to previous versions:

  • Redesigned Trade System: Decision-making is now more streamlined, yet it better represents the historical dynamics of the era.
  • Polished Rules: We have rewritten the rulebook to improve clarity and historical accuracy, simplifying events without sacrificing realism.
  • Visual Immersion: The graphic design has taken a significant leap forward, not only in aesthetics but also in usability, helping players read the board’s information quickly.

If you want to understand the reasoning behind every historical decision, we recommend reading the designer notes.
