Introduction (By CoV Editor Fred Schachter): I had the pleasure of first viewing a gorgeous, virtually professional quality, playtest version of Frank’s Congress of Vienna game some years ago. It was most impressive. At the time I was working and living in the Phoenix, Arizona area and enticed a local gaming buddy (and now good friend) Dick Sauer into sharing my enthusiasm for Frank’s creation and to become CoV’s Game Developer.
Improved
versions of the game followed and during 2019 the game was presented at GMT’s
Spring “Weekend at the Warehouse” and at the CSW Expo in Tempe, Az. where we
had a blast playing games, under Frank’s supervision of course, with myself,
Mark Herman, Luke Billingsley, Mark Simonitch, and other wonderful gamers who
enjoyed Congress of Vienna’s easily learned mechanics and fun, exciting,
action.
Gene Billingsley introduced Frank, a native of Spain who traveled a long way to join the CSW Expo festivities, during the event’s “Meet GMT’s Designers/Developers” session. The rest, as they say, is history and the December 2019 GMT Update announced Congress of Vienna as a new P-500 addition.
This article introduces Frank to InsideGMT’s readership and provides information and background regarding Frank and his game. If you wish to meet Frank, Dick, and their local team of play testers, as well as a GMT delegation, there’ll be opportunity to do so during January 2020’s Bellota Con III gaming gathering in Badajoz, Spain. With that… take it away Frank!
