Publisher's Description:

History of the World is the boldest board game concept yet attempted, capturing in a few hours play the entire sweep of the human race across 5000 years of history and the entire face of the globe.

Throughout the game the nations and Empires of history will emerge onto the world stage for their period of glory, only to be submerged by the next wave of land hungry power seeking peoples.

History of the World is a game which has brought together a simple but original game system, detailed historical research and a vision of what the ultimate game should achieve.

The result is a challenge which puts you, the player, into the robes of imperial purple and asks you to prove yourself against history and the men who forged it. Will you accept that Challenge?
