Full publisher description

Game description from the publisher: After decades of exploration, disputes arise among the colonizing European nations over the discovered lands, resources and trade routes. 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! Contents: 40 Cards 1 Card Tray (fits up to 90 sleeved evolution cards) 1 Rulebook
