In A Battle Through History, players wear the clothes of a time-traveling storyteller whose journey through historical eras enables them to relive epic battles alongside legendary troops and heroes. During a game, players will play era tiles into the "Gear of History" to customize their deck of cards and move their character in space and time in order to fight and recruit troops from different historical battles or challenge opponents in player vs. player combat. As you create an army made of soldiers from different ages, you use it to collect relics from different places and times. Whoever gathers the greatest units and the bravest heroes, leads them to victory, and gathers relics during their travels wins the game.

A Battle Through History, designed and published by Scribabs and released worldwide by Pegasus Spiele, is the official Sabaton board game, containing a unique "gear and rack" action system, fight-based deck-building, 60 different historical troops, and eight famous heroes from different eras.
