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.

2 Simplified AoE III Scoresheet, suitable for printing
A simple, clean AoE III score sheet for 2-6 players. Excel format with formulas that sum the scores. The final score is hidden until you enter the points for the last column so a hidden running total is possible. Suitable for printing.
