Resources conflict choice of actions wholesale trading and players? reputations are all matters of concern in this smooth and fast playing game.

Colonialist or Racist? December 4, 2005

I simply can not believe that anyone in the 21st century, with the exception of Nazis, would buy this for a child! I read the book, on which I am sure this is based, and it was an excellent education on the history of colonialism and imperialism. However this is an appalling way to apply this knowledge base. Buy the book or the televised documentary, but do not buy this game if you have any real interest in imparting this history in a positive way to a child.
