About this game

Colonial Conquest is a grand strategy game set in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Players take command of Great Britain, France, Germany, the United States, Russia, or Japan and compete for dominance over more than 120 minor nations.

Diplomacy, espionage, armies, and fleets all play a role as the major powers expand their influence and confront one another. The objective is to conquer as many minor nations as possible and become the most powerful ruler in the world.

The game includes three scenarios and supports up to six players, with each participant controlling a separate nation. The computer can control the remaining nations when needed.
