The intent of the game is to provide a broad overview of the historical events while being fun to play. SOVEREIGN OF THE SEAS owes its original inspiration to the game concepts of WAR AT SEA published by The Avalon Hill Game Company, a game which covered the war in the Atlantic in World War Two. SOVEREIGN OF THE SEAS borrows a number of these concepts from this earlier game as a starting point, such as area movement, individual capital ships, individual leaders, battle line resolutions, and rolling sixes to hit, and then diverges significantly to reflect the sailing warship era situation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe object of the game for the English player is to destroy the naval forces of the European Powers player and prevent them from obtaining control of vital sea areas around the world. The object of the game for the European Powers player is to escape the forces of the English player and obtain temporary sea control of vital areas to support the continental and colonial objectives of various European nations. The game uses over 650 counters, a two piece map, and numerous organization cards and play aid sheets.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eProduct Information\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eComplexity: 4 out of 10\u003cbr\u003eSolitaire Suitability: 7 out of 10\u003cbr\u003eTime Scale: Yearly turns\u003cbr\u003eMap Scale: Area\u003cbr\u003eUnit Scale: individuals ship\u003cbr\u003ePlayers: 2 or solitaire\u003cbr\u003ePlaying Time: 3-4 hours hours\u003cbr\u003eDesigner: Stephen Newberg\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eComponents:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTwo 22 X 34 inch maps\u003cbr\u003eSix Countersheets – approximately 600 counter\u003cbr\u003eOne Rulebook\u003cbr\u003eRules and Scenario book\u003cbr\u003ePlayer Aid Cards\u003cbr\u003eDice\u003cbr\u003eOne Box and Lid set\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Compass Games","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":3185120509978,"sku":"3185120509978","price":91.11,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0274\/9631\/products\/pic3333097.png?v=1578609327","url":"https:\/\/www.vaibhavhospital.com\/products\/sovereign-of-the-seas","provider":"vaibhavhospital","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
