September 1666. A careless baker in Pudding Lane forgot to put out his
fire and it spread creating an inferno which would destroy 13,000 houses and
make 70,000 of London’s 80,000 population homeless. The Lord Mayor fails to act
and it is down to the trained bands of militia led by a few worthies to fight
the fire and finally put it out. To do so they must decide which districts to
demolish to protect others. These same individuals own much of London and making
such choices is painful. In the end though it is an opportunity for many.
Someone is going to come out of this with the most property intact and someone
will be seen to do the most to fight the fire. Could that someone have enough
influence and popularity to become the next Mayor?
The players are men of
wealth and standing who own property around London. They can use the trained
bands to fight the fire, use demolitions to destroy blocks of housing to prevent
the fire flowing or turn a blind eye and allow the fire to spread and damage
rival’s property. Victory can belong to the player with the most property left
but putting out fires can give you a boost. In addition each player will have
several hidden objectives which might include helping another player or
protecting parts of the city.
