Beschreibung
Lieber bairisch sterben (Better to die Bavarian) covers the Bavarian Peasant Revolt of the early 18th century in which three sides fought for power: the Imperial Austrian Army, the Prince-Elector's forces, and the rebellious peasants.

Players don't represent a particular faction, but instead must court the factions' leadership each turn, acquiring counters of the corresponding color. The main shareholder is awarded the leadership for that turn, and in the course of a game, the leader of a side can change multiple times.

Through their faction, a player tries to gain points, earning them for the capture of the most important towns: Munich, Regensburg, Passau, Straubing, Landshut, and Burghausen. To do so, you must to occupy these with a unit. Occupying a town brings money into the bank, with which you can pay for the cost of the troops. Battles are dealt with via a unique card mechanism.

Lieber bairisch sterben is a completely reworked version of the 1988 game of the same name.
