Description
Description from the publisher:
It is 1754 and both France and Britain have thriving colonies in North America. New England has begun expanding into the Ohio River Valley but France has built a chain of forts extending from Lake Erie to protect their own claim on the land. Now fighting has erupted. France and its Native American Allies control the Ohio Valley but George Washington prepares an army to take it from them. A small war has started in the colonies between France and Britain but control of the world is at stake.
In 1754: Conquest – The French and Indian War, players play as the French and British Factions who fought for dominance over the Americas. This war is known as the French and Indian War in the United States, the War of Conquest in Canada and was part of the Seven Years War which was fought around the world by the European Powers. The French players either play as the French Canadian Militia or the French Regulars. The British players play as the British Colonial Militias or the British Regulars. Both players can ally and fight with the Native Americans but the French start with more Native Allies.
Players for each side work together in order to coordinate their strategies. To win, each side attempts to control Victory Spaces on the map that represent towns and forts. The militia players receive reinforcements from muster points while the French and English Regulars must ship their reinforcements from overseas. The game ends when the Treaty of Paris is signed and the side controlling the most cities wins the game.
1754 Conquest Introduces:
1. Strategic Forts - Forts allow defenders an opportunity to negate hits in battle!
2. Valuable Muster Points - The new muster system for Native American and Colonial forces makes strategic alliances more dynamic and game changing!
3. Important Harbor Regions - Harbor regions govern regional reinforcements from British and French Regular Troops!

Quotes (from this video)
- Got it. Off the line. Another man-to-man combat game. Each counter is a single man, just like in combat 3, but uh combat is a solo game. This is uh it's got solo guidance for it, but it's designed as a two-player game, although it's I think it's going to be very solo friendly.
- I feel like that sort of it's easy for me to sit down when I've got 20 minutes and just cruise through my phone and look at social media, but instead I can play a whole game. And so I think these games offer me an opportunity to do something more interesting than Doomcroll
- when talk about companies that have high production values with their stuff, I mean, of course, we've got the big ones, you know, GMT, Compass Games, and things. Worthington Publishing is right up there with Bua Sims in terms of the quality of their content. The boxes are good, the counters are good, materials are good, the cards are all vinyl. I mean, just really they don't they they make good stuff, too, which is always really nice to see some durability.
- It's going to be something different, right? I mean, it's always good to throw different things in the channel. Something a little bit different, but I think there's enough overlap with it with Wargaming that and and I know there's a lot of football fans on the channel as well.
- 49% no, 51% yes. So roughly 50% half of the people watching this video play miniatures wargaming as well as tabletop board gaming or or play and don't play anything else which was I thought it's more than I thought.
- Miniatures games for me represent the extension of a childhood hobby of mine, which was building and painting model airplane kits. Totally can see that. So you're building the miniatures, painting the miniatures, playing the games. These can all go together into one big hobby.
- The other thing would be PC Hex Encounters kind of like we did with the Panzer Core 2. The nice thing about that is that it's very easy to play in a live stream format because the rules are all managed for you in the background.

Quotes (from this video)
- Everything that you'll see in this video, by the way, is linked down below in the video description.
- A lot of board wargames have chits, basically counters that you put in a cup and you're kind of closing your eyes and you're picking one of them out of the cup as you're playing.
- The solution? Bingo chips.
- The Oregon counter clippers, the tool to clip counters and make them nice and beautiful and rounded.
- So, I'm going to just show and mention the two that I can that you can get right now.
- This is admittedly a little bit big for a stocking stuffer. It might have to go below the stocking.
- So, you get from a magazine where everything's flying all over the place to a perfect game box with the storage tray for counters inside it.
- Be amazed how handy it is to have a big pile of dice that you can pull into the games that you're playing.
- Which were your favorite ones that you saw? I'd love to hear down in the comments below.
