"Zanzibar!

Just saying the word makes you think of far off places and high adventure. Okay, maybe not so much if you’re a Poor Bloody Infantryman but for an Officer and a Gentleman the “Age of Imperialism” (1850 – 1914) was the best of times. A time where young men could garner fame and fortune in dark and dangerous lands. A time where heroes could be made in a day. And a time where death could come swiftly and from unexpected places.

Colonial Adventures allows you to recreate these “dirty little wars” of European expansion on the tabletop. Refight the heroic stand at Rourke’s Drift or try and change the result at Isandhlwana. But it isn’t just about the British and Zulus. It’s also about the French Foreign Legion, Berber horsemen, Imperial German forces, Masai warriors, the Russian army, Pathan tribesmen, and much more.

Whether you’re an experienced Colonials player or a novice just starting the period, Colonial Adventures is right for you. Here’s just a few reasons why.
