Pax Britannica

A multi player game of empire, diplomacy, and global confrontation. The Great Powers of Great Britain, France, the US, Germany, Austria-Hungary, Italy, Russia, and Japan vie throughout the world for the wealth and esteem conferred by vast colonial holdings in the far-flung corners of the Earth. Each player maneuvers his administrative and military assets to establish control over the choicest and most strategic areas, keeping a wary eye toward encrouching opponents whose colonial ambitions are every bit as great. Conflict between national wills is more often resolved through peaceful negotiation than through war but when national honor is too severely tried, war can occur- on a scale that threatens to evolve into the War to End All Wars!Time scale = 4 years per turn Map scale = abstract Unit scale = Corps/Fleet, Division/Task Force, Regiment/Squadron Playing time = approx 4 to 7 hoursIncludes 666 counters, 2 22' x 32' mapsheets, 8 player sheets, 1 administrative pad, 2 six-sided dice, 1 counter storage tray, and rules booklet - BoardGameGeek
