Struggle of Empires recreates the various wars fought
between the European powers as they attempted to become the dominant
force in Europe and the rest of the world during the eighteenth
century. Build armies and fleets, make alliances, establish colonies,
improve your economic might and ultimately wage war to expand
your empire. Be careful, though, as a profligate country can end
up being consumed by revolution!
The game is divided into 3 wars. Each war consists of a number
of phases, with the key phase being the action phase. The Action
phase lasts from 5 to 6 rounds, depending upon the number of players.
In each round each player will perform two actions.
Players attempt to form strong alliances to improve their position
in the game, while attempting to force stronger opponents into
weak alliances. During their action phase players may only perform
two actions, from a possible array of 6 different actions. There
is never enough time available to do everything you wish. Expansion
must be paid for with gold, which is always running short, and
the threat of national unrest constantly looms.
