Designed by Glenn Drover, this boardgame 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 capitol buildings that give your nation distinct advantages, develop your economy, and, if necessary, declare war.
Though originally published for 5 players, the game is playable by 6 with the original components and board configuration with addition of a set of figures in another color. This was originally offered as an "expansion" and an incentive to pre-order the game. The 6 player expansion will be included in the New expansion Glenn Drover's Empires: Builder Expansion as well as new buildings, and National Advantage tiles.
Once the expansion came out, I knew that we needed player boards for each individual nation. If you don't have the expansion, you can simply ignore the National Advantage box and use the rest of the aid as a reminder of turn structure and as a place to keep your workers.
So you voted, and must of you believe AoE3 is best with 4 players ? I concord! This is my Scaling for 3 players. I've tested it enough, that I'm pretty comfortable to release this. I just used some basic math, taking a reference of 4 players. Some Capital Building tiles and some Discovery cards are removed to enhance the chance of appearing of the remaining tiles/cards. The afore mentioned Discovery cards also match the 2 regions disabled. You can print and build some included tiles to indicate the disabled areas.
One side play mat and rules summary and other side basic explanation of game.

a player aid for AoEIII for people that have the German version of the game. I created it because it was difficult to remember each time the English translation of the buildings so now each player can have this file with the English translation in front of him.
