Low Whigs and High Tories

One of my long term ambitions has been to develop a game using Avalon Hills Republic of Rome as a base for the Victorian Colonial period.

I'm still building this game up, including a sheaf of rules and historical facts.  The scandals in particular are fun to research.

This will be the basis for a Men who would be Kings campaign.

I will get this printed properly!  Nobs are "Nobles" 

My temporary board. 

1880  Late Victorian deck

The Liberals

John Russell Prime Minister

Lord Tweedmouth

John, Lord Wodehouse

Unionists  take 2d6 x 1000 guineas to support a Bill and add d6 to Irish Unrest

Radical Charles Parnell, voting with the Liberals

2d6 guineas for support to a Bill

Her Majesty's Opposition

The Tories

Benjamin Disraeli 

Lord Randolph Churchill

 2d6 x 1000 guineas to support a Bill,

1 crisis in play, A General Resigns (next one out)

Whig John Morley appears on the floor of the House.   Technically he will vote with the Liberals, but he will be expensive..

The Consolidated Fund Act arrives at the dispatch box

And two intrigues are in play.  A sex scandal removes Lord Wodehouse from the Government, and the Opium trade earns 12000 guineas for Lord Churchill.

Meanwhile Whig John Morley is bribed into the Government by a 24000 guinea concession.

And the first Matabele War goes active.

1880 done.
