Century: A New World is the third and final installment of the Century series from designer Emerson Matsuuchi.
Century: A New World sends players to the Americas at the dawn of the 16th century. Braving the wilderness, players are forced to explore new lands, trade with local inhabitants, journal their findings, and hunt/gather to survive! The game integrates the compelling and incredibly fun resource trading mechanisms found in the Century series with a worker placement mechanism with a twist!
Century: A New World may be combined with Century: Spice Road or Century: Eastern Wonders or both for all new mixable games.

Demoed at Origins 2019. It’s Spice Road, but now a worker placement instead of hand-builder. It’s better, I guess, but still a really bare-bones game that has way too much randomness. Also, a game about European colonists and Native Americans happily living together? Clearly this game was themed before Spirit Island. 5/10

I think this is my favorite Century game, much better than Eastern Wonders and probably also better than Spice Road. It's basically a worker placement game where all spaces are always available but the cost of using an occupied space goes up with each subsequent use. The objectives and resource upgrade mechanisms are very similar to both previous games, but the worker placement style of gameplay added complexity that makes it more interesting than but without the movement limitations of Easter Wonders.

I think I prefer the elegant simplicity of Century: Spice Road, and also the colonial theme with this one makes me feel really uneasy - more Native Americans died during the invasion of North America than did Jews in the Holocaust.
