Modeled on the Europa Universalis IV video game (itself derivative of the original Europa Universalis board game), the game is set from the beginning of the Renaissance to the beginning of the French Revolution. The game is designed for up to 4 (or 6, if using the expansion) as outlined in the manual, with optional manual "bot" support. Said players each control one of the playable nations vying for power as they attempt to grow their empire while simultaneously subduing their opponents. ^[2]
