Age of Empires III: The Age of Discovery
Colonize the New World with merchants, soldiers, and grand ambitions
Who it's for
Euro gamers who enjoy worker placement with a thematic colonial setting. Best at 3-4 players with 2 hours available for a full session.
Not for you if…
Skip if colonial themes are unappealing or you want a quick game. The video game name sets expectations the board game doesn't quite match.
Vibe's take
Strategic, expansive, competitive, thematic
