"Europe 1919" print with game cards

Back in 2008 I wanted to freshen up my board game crew's next meeting, so I made a gigantic Risk map based on Europe in 1919. Why 1919? It was a unique moment in European history in which anything could've happened. The Treaty of Versailles on the cusp of being signed, revolutions were at work in Russia, Hungary, and elsewhere, borders were being redrawn, politics were a raw affair and most governments were tapped out. If you've played the game, you know this is a great zeitgeist to set it in. The copy I made for my game night included this stark partial collage of a B&W map on several taped-together 11x17" sheets, and we had a great time with it.

Eventually, I had larger versions printed and it become an interior design and history nerd hit - something about its period, place, and the contrast of the "organic" state lines versus the geometric game lines appealed to eyes and minds, whether they intended to play it or not. 

Lately, a few folks have requested copies of it, so I've brought it back to life after a few years of unavailability. Each map print is now available at two feet square and comes with a second sheet of game cards that you can cut out and use to play, provided you have an authentic set of rules and game pieces. You'll need to adjust the number of starting armies (and can play with up to eight players) but otherwise it's the same. 

Available as two 24x24" sheets on Epson Enhanced Matte 192 gsm paper printed with Epson UltraChrome XD2 archival ink. Sold in an open edition, unframed, signed and dated on reverse.
