Old-continent quarrels become new again in the colonies. At times, precarious moments of peace are maintained — until wars erupt again. Human greed is an eternal source of conflicts... Archipelago: War & Peace introduces forty new beautifully- and individually-illustrated evolution cards: twenty character and twenty progress cards. These cards — which can be combined with the base game or used as a complete replacement — are more aggressive, interactive and (sometimes) drastic than the original ones, covering the major themes of war, peace, and trade, among others. With Archipelago: War & Peace, you can add spice to your games and make Archipelago new again!
