Set in the latter half of the 18th century, Age of Reason puts you in the shoes of a powerful regent leading one of Europe's great nations: Great Britain, the Netherlands, France, Spain, Prussia, Austria, or Russia. Your mission? To expand your country's power in Europe while simultaneously establishing a colonial empire stretching across Africa, India, and the Western Hemisphere. However, no single nation can conquer the world alone. Success hinges on shifting alliances and shrewd diplomacy. Be prepared for intense negotiations, unexpected betrayals, and a dynamic map where political maneuvering and warfare are intertwined. Age of Reason demands strategic foresight, negotiation skills, and impeccable timing. With mechanics involving area majority, auctions, and dice rolling, each game unfolds as a fierce struggle for global dominance. If you enjoy deep strategy games that immerse you in pivotal historical decisions and epic conflicts, this is your arena. The publisher recommends playing with at least three players to ensure the full dynamic of alliances and rivalries.
