Description

New France 1760 is a game that drops you into the midst of the Seven Years' War in North America, a time of intense conflict and strategic maneuvering. The game takes place on a massive mounted map that stretches from Detroit to Cape Breton Island, covering a vast territory of wilderness, lakes, and rivers. With 132 counters in six colors, representing everything from regiments to fleets, you'll need to navigate the challenges of water movement and limited road networks to outmaneuver your opponents. The game is won by controlling key cities and forts in New France, but getting there won't be easy. Turns are bi-monthly, and the harsh winter conditions mean that most units must find shelter in towns or forts by the end of winter turns, or risk being destroyed. This means that every move must be carefully planned, taking into account the lay of the land, the movement of your units, and the actions of your opponents. Despite the simple rules, New France 1760 offers a deeply strategic and immersive gaming experience that's sure to appeal to fans of wargames and history buffs alike. With its unique blend of exploration, tactics, and strategy, this 1978 game from designer William Adams remains a compelling and challenging experience to this day.
