Description Edit | History

Colonial: Europe's Empires Overseas is a board game about colonial times, from the Renaissance to the Industrial Revolution.

In Colonial players are the rulers of mighty European states and send their ministers to explore the earth, establish missions, ascertain scientific supremacy, and trade in exotic goods. These commodities will have to be exploited on an industrial scale and resold in Europe or in the colonies.

Set against an epic historical backdrop and using a branded Character Card-driven system, conventional dice and custom dice, this fast-paced board game requires careful management, knowledge, diplomacy and a degree of luck to lead to victory in the race for prestige.

3 Small Hex Sized Monopoly Board
This is a mini-board for tracking monopolies in Colonial. Print this on card stock or mount it on matt board. It sits right on the game board, in an empty ocean perhaps. To use it, every time you get a monopoly (or it changes hands), simply put the appropriate colour player token into the relevant resource circle. Thanks to ruse1g for the idea.

21 Colonial Redesigned Rulebook [unnoficial]
THIS IS NOT an official redesign of the rulebook. It's the official rules, put together along with the F.A.Q. and the many questions answered by the designer. I think I've improved the flow of the rules and made a lot of clarifications an integral part of them. v0.1: missing info for some of the cards for the Nations Variant, along with all images still.

5 Sea boxes variant
Add rules for the Movement of Fleets between the continents.

12 Colonial game flow player aid
