Overview
Colonial 1700-1800 is a strategic card game for 1 to 5 players 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, Portugal and the United States can also be involved through an add-on (allowing games up to 5 players). 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).
