About this game
Explore the New World, establish colonies, and build a trade empire using worker placement with specialized colonist types. Empires: Age of Discovery spans three ages of colonial expansion, with different worker types (soldiers, merchants, missionaries, builders) providing unique advantages. The area control on the New World map combines with Euro-style building and trade, creating a hybrid that satisfies both Euro and Ameritrash sensibilities.
