Eagles, also called Eagles: Waterloo, is an out-of-print collectible card game (CCG) published by Columbia Games in 1995.
Eagles is a CCG designed by Tom Dalgliesh. [1] [2] The game is similar in set-up and strategy to Columbia's Dixie CCG released the previous year, [3] albeit with expanded rules, and set in the days of the Napoleonic Wars. The game recreates Napoleon's Waterloo campaign during the Hundred Days. [1] [4]
The base set has 300 cards with a total of 900 variants, [1] and the battle deck can consist of 60 or 120 cards representing the French, British, Dutch and Prussian regiments. [3] The cards had no rarity. Instead each card was printed in three versions: Gold, Silver, and Bronze. [1] Every card was individually available or sold as a complete set via direct order from the company. [1] [2]

You might be surprised to learn the tactics aren't all that different from those in Magic: The Gathering ." He concluded, "If you're the adventurous type, you still ought to give this a look." [3]
