A short reintroduction. I'm designing Vienna 1814: Waltz of Nations — a board game about the Congress of Vienna seen from the side history classes tend to skip: salons, gossip, romance, intrigue and social ambition, played through real historical figures. Still in development, and I'm sharing the process openly as it slowly becomes playable.

Vienna 1814: Waltz of Nations is less a puzzle to solve than a city to get lost in.
By day, you wander the famous corners of Vienna. By evening, you disappear into its parties — gossip, romance, intrigue, and the slow art of winning powerful people to your side.
Meanwhile, Europe still needs rebuilding after years of war.
Somebody has to do it between dances. -

The Flea Market in Vienna / Der Tandelmarkt in Wien Ferdinand Weckbrodt, undated.
I love the framing here. The market is almost hidden behind the buildings, as if we are just approaching it — which gives the scene a slightly suspicious charm.
In Vienna 1814: Waltz of Nations, the Tandelmarkt appears as a gateway to more… unorthodox activities.#ArtHistory #Vienna #CongressOfVienna #BoardGameDesign #HistoricalGames

Small Congress scandal: at the opening ball of the Congress of Vienna, rumour had it that a quarter of the 10,000 silver teaspoons bearing the imperial crest quietly disappeared into the crowd.
I would treat this more as a perfect Congress anecdote than a precise inventory report — but honestly, that makes it even better.
Diplomacy, spectacle, gossip… and apparently a few unofficial souvenirs.#History #CongressOfVienna #Vienna1814 #HistoricalGames #BoardGameDesign #WanderingPine
