Archipelago: War & Peace

About this expansion

Archipelago: War & Peace is a 2014 board game expansion for 2–5 players with an approximately 240-minute play time. It introduces forty new evolution cards designed to make games of Archipelago more aggressive, interactive, and sometimes drastic.

After decades of exploration, disputes emerge among the colonizing European nations over discovered lands, resources, and trade routes. Fragile moments of peace can give way to war as old-world conflicts return to the colonies, with human greed providing an enduring source of tension.

The set includes twenty character cards and twenty progress cards. They cover major themes including war, peace, and trade, adding fresh possibilities and sharper conflict to your sessions.

• 40 individually illustrated evolution cards
• 20 character cards and 20 progress cards
• Cards that can be combined with the base game
• A complete replacement option for the original evolution cards
• A card tray that fits up to 90 sleeved evolution cards
• One rulebook

Use the new cards alongside the base game to add extra spice, or use them as a complete replacement for the original evolution cards. Their more aggressive and interactive nature gives Archipelago a renewed character while expanding its focus on conflict, cooperation, and trade.

With its forty beautifully and individually illustrated cards, Archipelago: War & Peace offers a substantial new card set in a compact package. It is an option for players looking to make their Archipelago games feel new again while exploring the uneasy balance between war and peace.
