Empires in the New World features a huge map that stretches from Hudson Bay to the Strait of Magellan. Special rules cover Pirates & Privateers, Royal Intrigue, the Fur Trade, Religious Turmoil, and much more! A set of Random Event cards adds an additional element of uncertainty to every game. There is also plenty of opportunity for diplomacy, treachery, and alliances with the other empires.
Plastic playing pieces represent explorers, settlers, ships, and native tribes. Colorful tokens represent elements like a settlement, treasure, a new discovery, a pirate raid, or a Native American civilization.
