Struggle of Empires

Multilingual first edition: English; French; German. Players take the roles of the major 18th century European powers, and struggle for dominance in both Europe and the colonies (North and South America, India, and the East Indies). For each of three wars the players bid to ally themselveswith some other players while opposing others - attacking allies is not permitted so getting the alliances right is important. Players can then spend their actions bringing new forces into play, moving them and attacking with them, as well as gainingspecial tiles which give a variety of benefits. Money can be obtained by taxing your populace but this causes unrest which has to be monitored carefully. UK postage flat fee £4 for 1st game, £7 for 2 games or more.
