Description
Wealth of Nations is a two-player strategy game focused on resource control, settlement building, and military conquest while researching technology that will give you an edge over your opponent.
Players will take turns battling for control of important resources via the Game Map that changes every time you play with Land Hexes.
There are two game modes. Conquest and Objective.
In Conquest, the goal is to build up your forces and take control of the entire map. To do so you will have to: build cities to collect resources, upgrade those cities to collect more, build armies, and outsmart your opponent who is trying to do the same.
In Objective, things become interesting. All of the same game mechanics are at play, but the end goal is different for each player. You will have no idea what your enemy's objective is and they will not know yours.
If you like games like Risk but crave a bit more depth, than this is the game for you. The "Land Hexes" give the game a level of unpredictability along with the die rolling to resolve combat. Resource Shards make it easy to keep track of and spend the resources you have.
*We understand that a 2-player game can limit the amount of friends you can enjoy it with. So we've put together an expansion with new Land Hexes and different colored units and cities to allow you to play with 4-players. The expansion will be published soon after we're done testing it. Cheers!*

Notes
- This game contains a premium upgrade called UV Coating that makes the printed components more durable.
