In this monster game of diplomacy, territorial expansion, trade, military technology, economic development, and war you play the part of kings as you relive 300 years of world history (1492-1792). The grand campaign game can keep 6 players occupied for a long, long time, but one of the beauties of this game is that you can play a shorter campaign game or a mini campaign that requires fewer player and less space and time and you can even re-fight one of 20 battle scenarios, or play a solitaire scenario.

The game includes:

  • 2 color maps (Europe & Rest of the World), 80cm x 60cm each
  • 1412 counters (armies, fleets, leaders, detachments, colonies, trading posts, etc) – Countersheets “Europa Universalis” #1 to #6
  • 1 rulebook (72 pages)
  • 1 scenarios book (52 pages)
  • 1 annexes book (48 pages)
  • 6 player’s aids & record sheets
  • 2 ten-sided dice

Recovering hobo, one-time actor and street corner philosopher, now trying to enjoy the less fine things in life (like everyone else does). One thing has been nearly constant in my life - gaming. Even before discovering wargames (at the tender age of 10 or so - purely fortuitous), I would play out family games (including the 3M series) solitaire. But, life situations interfered not too long ago, and I was largely without board gaming for the better part of a decade. The last couple of years have seen me devoting myself to the hobby again - and learning a lot of the newer designs - so, I'm looking from the eyes of an old grognard (ah, how I fought against THAT term when first used on me) but an open mind and willingness to see if newer games appeal.
