Prelude is a new expansion to the award winning game, Quartermaster General. Prelude adds a short pre-game deck of History and Armament cards, representing the build up to war throughout the 1930s. When the tension gets high enough, war breaks out and the regular game begins, but with a differing opening and possibilities! Players do not need either of the other expansions to use Prelude, but it is compatible with the other expansions.
