Description

Get ready to shake things up in the world of Archipelago with the War & Peace expansion, designed by Christophe Boelinger and released in 2014. This game is all about navigating the complexities of colonization, where European nations are vying for control of newly discovered lands, resources, and trade routes. As you explore the high seas, you'll need to balance your pursuit of wealth and power with the need to maintain peace and avoid all-out war. With 2 to 5 players, you'll engage in a delicate dance of negotiation, trading, and area control, all set against the backdrop of a modular board that's different every time you play. The War & Peace expansion adds a whole new layer of depth to the game, with 40 new evolution cards that introduce more aggressive and interactive elements to the mix. These cards can be combined with the base game or used as a complete replacement, and they cover themes like war, peace, and trade. Whether you're a seasoned pro or just looking to mix things up, Archipelago: War & Peace is the perfect way to breathe new life into your games. With its normal complexity level, you can dive right in and start exploring the intricacies of colonization, and with a playtime of 240 minutes, you'll have plenty of time to get fully immersed in the world of Archipelago.
