Trade Tiles now appear on the map until they are taken by players for themselves.

Piracy and Colony revolt are now classed as Covert Operations and have their own wooden markers for player to claim and use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlayer components are now all in wood including 20 Control Markers, 14 Armies, 8 Navies, 2 Forts, 6 Local Alliance Markers, 1 Population Marker, 1 Alliance Marker, and 1 VP Marker.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe have also created a player aid that summarizes all activities and actions on the front and gives a summary of game tiles on the back.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost importantly, we have developed an updated rule book!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe updated rule book clarifies the original rules and examples. It also provides a wealth of variant rules. In each instance of rules revisions, we have kept the original version as a variant. In other cases, we have kept the original rule and have introduced a variant, including 2 new variants from the designer, Martin Wallace. Other variants are based on designer and fan suggestions. Some address issues of “balance” and “luck” in the game and others provide new ideas for setup.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Eagle-Gryphon Games","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32415446564915,"sku":"EGL102285","price":120.75,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0274\/9631\/products\/pic4800469.jpg?v=1597628626","url":"https:\/\/www.vaibhavhospital.com\/products\/struggle-of-empires-deluxe-edition","provider":"vaibhavhospital","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
