A history-based game: Dos de Mayo is based on the
terrible events that took place in Madrid on May 2nd
1808.
On that date, fed up with the abuse by French
soldiers and sick of the indolence of Spanish
authorities, many of whom acted in collusion with the
occupying French troops,
the people of the city rose
up
in arms against the best army of the time, in a
desperate attempt to regain their pride through
rebellion against the Napoleonic invader.
2-Player game: Dos de Mayo is a board game for two
players, lasting around 20-30 minutes (even less for
experienced players), in which each player controls the
forces of one side, either Spanish or French.
