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, colonise 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. The box contains hundreds of plastic figures including ships, doubloons, colonists, merchants, captains, missionaries and soldiers.
