Age of Monarchs

The game is not available.

The game is currently under development and will be released by an European Publisher. I must keep the Publisher's name confidential for the time being.

In agreement with the publisher and at his request I have removed all shared and public materials (pictures, videos).

Age of Monarchs is a card-driven strategy game for three to six players simulating the three centuries of the Modern Age, from the discovery of America by Columbus in 1492 to the fall of the Bastille in 1789. Players control one or more major powers that dominated Europe at the time and struggled to achieve the global supremacy in warfare, diplomacy trade, world colonization and religious matters all over the world in the Age of Absolutism. The major powers represented are the Ottoman Empire, Spain, France, England, the Venetian Republic and Holland, Portugal and Russia, as well as Sweden, Poland, Russia and Austria.
