A thoughtful and methodical colonial simulation where you manage resources and expansion turn by turn.

What players say

Players love the deep economy and historical setting, and they keep coming back for one more turn even decades later. Strategy tips emerge naturally, like how silver mines eventually run dry and how focusing liberty speeds the independence win.
