Descripción del juego

"What I gained by being in France was learning to be better satisfied with my own country.”~ Samuel Johnson.

"England  has  forty-two  religions  and  only  two  sauces." Voltaire.

In 1697 the Sun King, Louis XIV, emerged from a decade of war with his Continental ambitions still unsatisfied. Meanwhile, King William III of England sat easier on his new throne than he ever had before. With the Spanish succession crisis looming, there were no illusions that the new century would be a quiet one. But neither France nor England could have anticipated the tumult of the years to come: a Second Hundred Years’ War, during which these two tenacious adversaries would compete fiercely and proudly along every axis of human achievement.

On battlefields from  India  to  Canada  to  the  Caribbean  Sea their armies  and fleets would clash; in the salons of Paris and the coffee-houses of London the modern world’s politics and economics would be born; and finally a revolution would rock the foundations of society—a revolution that could have ended not in blood and terror but in a triumph of democracy and liberty that might have transformed the world beyond imagining.

Imperial  Struggle  is  a  two-player  game  depicting  the  18th-century rivalry between France and Britain. It begins in 1697, as  the  two  realms  wait  warily  for  the  King  of  Spain  to  name  an heir, and ends in 1789, when a new order brought down the Bastille. The game is not merely about war: both France and Britain must build the foundations of colonial wealth, deal with the other nations of Europe, and compete for glory across the span of human endeavor.

Imperial Struggle covers almost 100 years of history and four major wars. Yet it remains a quick-playing, low-complexity game. It aims to honor its spiritual ancestor, Twilight Struggle, by pushing the direction of simple rules and playable systems, while maintaining global scope and historical sweep in a single evening. In Peace Turns, players build economic interests and alliances, and take advantage of historical events represented by Event cards.

They must choose investments wisely, but also with an eye to denying those opportunities to their opponent. In War Turns, each theater can bring great rewards of conquest and prestige... but territorial gains can disappear at the treaty table. At the end of the century, will the British rule an empire on which the sun never sets? Or will France light the way for the world, as the superpower of the Sun King’s dreams or the republic of Lafayette’s?

Imperial  Struggle  consists  of  six  Peace  Turns,  interrupted  by  four Wars (the War of the Spanish Succession, the War of the Austrian Succession, the Seven Years’ War and the American War of Independence). The first two Peace Turns and the War of the Spanish Succession comprise the Succession Era; the next two Peace Turns along with the War of the Austrian Succession and the Seven Years’ War comprise the Empire Era; and the last two Peace Turns and the American War of Independence comprise the Revolution Era.
