1500: The New World

Players use cards to build, reduce, and repair colonies, adjust royal support, and interfere with each other through reactions. Each turn is about making the best use of your hand while trying to grow your presence on the map before your rivals do the same.

Victory comes from successful colonies, export monopolies, and regional control. The rules are designed to keep play moving quickly, with short setup and a playing time of under an hour.

1500 The New World works well for players who want a lighter historical strategy game with direct competition, card play, and a clear race for points.
