Description

European Union: The Board Game is a thrilling experience for 3 to 7 players, where you take on the role of a European political party leader, navigating the complexities of policy-making and negotiation. With each party having its own unique preferences and abilities, you'll need to strategically bid for influence and voting power in the Council of the European Union and the European Parliament. As you accumulate influence points, you'll have the opportunity to set the agenda, chair discussions, and call votes as the President of these institutions, giving you a significant edge in shaping the game's outcome. As you play through the three rounds, simulating the expansion of the European Union over time, you'll need to form alliances, lobby other parties, and make deals to further your objectives. With the ability to trade influence points and make verbal commitments, the game becomes a delicate balance of cooperation and competition. Designed by Alex Tseng and published in 2015, European Union: The Board Game offers a fun and educational experience that's easy to learn, even for those familiar with board games. With a playtime of 60 to 90 minutes, you'll be fully immersed in the world of European politics, vying for the highest number of influence points to emerge victorious.
