In Struggle of Empires, designer Martin Wallace manages to take the imperialism of the 19th century and make a fascinating, heavily strategic game. Introducing a fascinating mechanic that keeps alliances shifting over the course of a game, Struggle of Empires allows a player an almost overwhelming number of choices each turn, as players seek to capture and hold lucrative colonies. With a bit of combat, a bit of negotiation, and clever use of allies, players can build empires to remember! Players must use negotiation and war to win in this game that will surely delight those looking for a "meaty" game.
