Verdict: we’ve been playing HOW long?!
In a Nutshell: This is a strategy board game similar to RISK, but more like RISK’s older, more mature, private college attending brother.
(from the game’s box)
“This game of world conquest traces the history of the world from the dawn of civilization to the threshold of modern time. Through 7 Epochs, you’ll lead a different empire, from the ancient Sumerians to the Persians, Romans, and Huns. You may take command of the Vikings, Ming Dynasty, or Germans. You must score as many victory points during your empire’s reign, for it is fleeting. A new power will soon rise to glory.”
