Product Info

-What you can expect-
Accompany the Dresden city guard on a journey through the centuries. Your journey through time takes you from the glorious days of courtly festivals, hunts, and tournaments to the trials of the Thirty Years' War and the downfall of Old Dresden. On the old bastion, you'll learn about the hard lot of the mercenaries between dice games and sieges.

With a sharp tongue and first-hand accounts, your city guard will tell you about the sabre-rattling of the Prussians and the occupation of Saxony during the Napoleonic era.

Follow the dark traces of spectacular crimes, from the robbery of the Saxon jewel treasure to the intrigues at the Dresden court. After a successful patrol, you'll be accepted into the ranks of the city guard. And as a reward, you will receive a well-deserved “liquid bread”, a freshly tapped Dresden beer!
