Description

[Edit] [History]

Not to be confused with Age of Discovery.

Designed by Glenn Drover, this boardgame version of the PC hit: Age of Empires III® from Microsoft and Ensemble Studios, allows you to revisit the age of exploration and discovery. Take on the role of a colonial power seeking fame, glory and riches in the New World. As you proceed through three ages you can launch expeditions of discovery, colonize regions, expand your merchant fleet, build capital buildings that give your nation distinct advantages, develop your economy, and if necessary, declare war.

Age of Empires III: The Age of Discovery features beautiful artwork from the PC game and from renowned artist Paul Niemeyer, but is a typical eurogame. Age of Empires III has hundreds of plastic figures, including ships, doubloons, colonists, merchants, captains, missionaries and soldiers.

6 Revised Colonist/Loading Dock v1.0
colonist_dock_revision_v1.0.pdf
Revised layout of Colonist/Loading Dock - the circles are laid out so that blocking off unused circles in games of less than six players is easier. There also is more room between the circles to reduce the likelihood of knocking over figures already on the dock. Scaled to fit the existing Tropical Games edition AoE III board. Single-page .pdf file, with crop marks for cutting.
