Winner of the Charles S. Roberts Award for Best Magazine Wargame of 2006.

From the publisher:

the game in this issue covers the battle between the Golden Horde clan of Mongols and the collected principalities that we know as Russia under the growing leadership of Muscovy, and the Grand Prince of Moscow, Dmitri Ivanovich, later entitled Donskoi for his victory at Kulikovo (which is right near the Don River). For 150 years, Tartar armies had readily destroyed all Russian opposition, and Kulikovo was the first sign that Russia was starting to emerge from Tatar domination. It would take several centuries more.

Kulikovo is considered a major turning point/battle of the Middle Ages, in that it not only showed that a western-style, “heavy” army could defeat the Mongols, but it was also the first major step in the unification of the various Russian principalities under the leadership of Muscovy.

Kulikovo is an accessible, fast-playing, fun game of low complexity. Gamers who have played ATO’s Suleiman the Great (ATO #9), and/or GMT Games’ Men Of Iron should find all of this quite familiar.

One 22x34-inch game map (featuring the usual great-looking graphics ATO is famous for), 176 five-eights-inch counters, Charts and Tables, dice, counter tray, English rules, and a magazine full of interesting articles.

This deluxe edition is the same as the standard edition except that it adds dice and a plastic counter tray that is large enough to contain all the components, including the map and magazine.
