   Struggle of Empires has a steep learning curve when it comes to reading the rulebook and taking it all in, but the system is actually quite easy to repeat once you have played a couple of rounds (much like many other games designed by Martin Wallace). This game is fun and has depth offering players the opportunity to employ different strategies to achieve victory. It is also a nice change of pace from the usual themes of global war. Experience colonization, trade, and slavery over three wars and varying alliances during an age where empires sprawled across the globe.

   I have been wargaming since 1972 and I had a collection of over 1,000 games before Hurricane Katrina in 2005. I regularly play wargames once or twice a week, and _Struggle of Empires_ is one of my favorites. With only 5-6 pages of rules, it is very accessible and with up to seven players, it is very fun and allows for various sized groups. Although largely abstract in many of its mechanics, the game does give a great feel for the time of the Wars of Empire, 1689-1763. It is also very well-balanced, and no one side has an edge. It all comes down to skill and luck. If you are a serious gamer and have a group of like-minded friends, you must give this game a try. The durability of 4 stars is because it is a paper product and does not respond well to pizza grease and spilled drinks!
