Endeavor

A thought provoking game of balance and strategy set against a backdrop of colonialism and exploration. Players seek to expand their holdings, explore new territorities, secure new lines of resource and, potentially, wage war to capitalise on their gains or rob an opponent of resource. The game has a fixed length, so time is of the essence and each turn becomes progressively longer and more intense. Decisions you make in the early game may have considerable impact on your options towards the end. You can develop your people, treasury or culture - but focus on one might mean driving yourself into a cul-de-sac with the rest. Do you explore specifically to secure governorship of a territory, only to find your opponents have invested more into technology and warfare threatening your position? Overall, an excellent game with relatively quick play time and great potential for replay time after time. Relatively easy to pick-up, but difficult to determine the winning strategy! Solid components and attractive board.
