You must be logged in to post a review.
This is the expansion to the Standard Edition of Europa Universalis: The Price of Power, adding 5-6 players, the East Europe Map, and Age IV.
Govern one of Europe’s great nations through the Ages of Discovery, Reformation, Absolutism, and Revolutions — spanning more than three hundred years of history. Lift your nation out of the slumber of the Dark Ages and create a glorious empire, through clever diplomacy, brave exploration, and ruthless conquest. Each of the playable nations have their own very unique opportunities and challenges.
Europa Universalis is a strategy board game that gives players a full 4X game experience in a historical setting. Through the strategic use of cards and careful management of resources, you can expand your realm on the map board, while at the same time developing the internal machinery of the state on your player board. You must build diplomatic relations that support your ambition and you can explore far-away parts of the world. By recruiting skilled advisors and carefully investing monarch power in great ideas, province development, and long-term strategies, you may well be able to outshine your historical counterparts.
This is a game for 1–6 players (depending on the various scenarios included). The goal of the game is to build the most successful empire, and points are scored for (amongst other things) owned provinces, explored territories, diplomatic relations, victories in wars, and secret objectives that have been accomplished.
The board game is based on the famous strategy game series by Paradox Interactive and captures the heart and soul of the grandness that makes the computer game so magnificent.
Includes solo mode by Dávid Turczi.

PAINFUL. Great in what it represents, but not playable in most group settings, with complexity up the arse and at a pace that drips as slow as molasses. There’s a reason some experiences are better off as computer games, and this is one of them. Stay away from this, unless you’re one of the few.

Backed in Kickstarter November 2019, recieved 28.01.23. Yes the rules are very complex, but totally worth it. If you like EU IV PC game, you will love the board game. I did not think it was possible to bring the PC game feeling to the board, but this game prooved me wrong. And also the quality of the game is amazing, I really recommend to get the extras (metal coins because they feel so much better than cardboard, extra bot decks, if you like the soloplay, giant play mat is always better than cardboard map. Only dices are not really necessary)

I’ve only played it solo so far so the game length hasn’t been a barrier to me yet, but I love everything about this game. The random nature of how the BOT players take events and interact in the game has made each play through feel like its own historical possibility. The only thing I would like to add is more dynamic country mechanics and maybe some expansion decks to add more rulers and events for more countries to feel flushed out.
