An 18th century colonial empire building game. Players take the role of one of the major powers of the period and fight in both Europe and the colonies. The twist to the game is that in each war players must form into two alliances. Once allied with a player you cannot fight each other. You do not have the backstabbing of Diplomacy to worry about; if he's allied he's with you until the end of the war. There are three wars. Many varied strategies.
