The game revolves around managing a lage number of colonist units that represent various colonial professions (carpenters, sugar planters, etc.) which the player must put to effective use to grow crops and generate income selling goods back in Europe. Relationships must be carefully maintained with Indians and other colonial powers, including waging war. All the while, the player must put a priority on political development and recruiting Founding Fathers, to ensure a succesful independence revolution, which is the climax of the game, and only path to victory.
The mechanics of the game are fairly unique in the turn-based strategy genre.
