Product description ■ Japanese translation included
In an era when the world map had not yet been completed. In search of new land, new alliances and new war trophies, the world powers sent their ships to the farthest places on the earth to expand their territory.
The wealth of the newly discovered world had an attraction to capture strength.
Players play a growing empire at home and on the Great Seas of the world, tirelessly striving to increase their influence and status.
Through exploration, trade, colonization and war, they compete with other powers to dominate land without resources or owners.
To ensure the ultimate control of your empire, you must make the right decisions about the balance of all your cultural, political, industrial, and revenues.
The path you should take, the battle you should fight, and your choices will determine the ultimate shape of the new world.
When all the world maps are filled, can your empire be on top of the others?
In this game, players become representatives of European empires with Mediterranean colonies and navigate the world to increase their glory and the value of industry, culture, wealth and politics.
The game board includes areas such as India, South America, and Africa, and once each voyage route is filled, it is possible to attack, colonize, and collect resources in that area.
For your turn, you can build a building, use its special abilities, increase your national strength, gather people, and perform new actions. At the end of the game, the player who gets the most points wins the game.
