In Colonialism: Expanded 2nd Edition, you'll dive into the world of 19th Century imperialistic struggle, where you'll take on the role of a colonial power vying for influence in unindustrialized regions. This game is all about strategy and cunning, as you'll need to use your cards to secretly bid for influence in six different regions on the game board.
