European powers fight for colonial hegemony in 18th century
Colonial 1700-1800 is a strategic card game that recreates the struggle between the European powers to preserve their colonial empires in the 18th century. The basic game faces France and Great Britain (2-player games), although the powers of Spain, the Netherlands and Portugal can also be involved through expansions (up to 5-player games).
The game is played over 5 turns per player, where you must defend your initial positions, encourage the production of export goods in the colonies and recruit troops to expand your colonial empire across up to 4 different theaters of operations: North America, the Caribbean, Africa and Asia (the Spain add-on includes a 5th theater of operations: South America). Throughout the game you must properly manage your player board: recruit reinforcements and acquire buildings, imprison enemy generals defeated in battle (and demand ransom for them), fill your treasury for the expenses you will need in the next turn, as well as pack your warehouse with the combination of goods that will bring you the most gold.
The game combines eurogame type mechanics (set collection, hand management, resource production) with other wargame type mechanics (direct confrontation between players, troop recruitment, territorial control of colonies, resolution of battles).
The player with the most Victory points at the end, wins.
