About this board game

End of Empire: 1744-1782 is an epic two-player historical game covering the major conflicts that reshaped North America, with scenarios lasting from three to eighteen hours. Players can explore King George’s War, the French and Indian War, and the American Revolutionary War.

Each turn represents two months, while each hex covers approximately 20 miles. The calendar includes spring, summer, fall, and winter turns, creating a structured timeline for campaigns across eastern North America. Units are mostly regiments, with each step representing approximately 250 men; fleets and other formations are also represented.

Two large maps depict a region filled with natural and man-made features. Hexes and towns can affect both movement and combat, giving the landscape an important role as armies maneuver through the changing political and military situation.

The French and Indian War brings the end of the French Empire in Canada, while the American Revolution marks the end of the British Empire in the thirteen American colonies. End of Empire presents these conflicts as part of the wider struggle that saw the Empires of England, France, and Spain leave North America and the United States of America rise.
