Anno 1800 - New in autumn 2020 ⛵️⠀

The great construction strategy game about the age of industrialization! 😱⠀⠀
In the board game to the popular PC game from @Ubisoftmainz you continuously build up your own industry to develop your home island. ⠀

Ship fleets allow for lively trade and the development of new islands in the Old and New World. You have to fulfill the wishes of your own population. While the inhabitants are initially satisfied with bread and clothing, they soon demand valuable luxury goods. You must plan production chains sensibly and keep an eye on the specialization of your population. The goal: A wise distribution of farmers, workers, craftsmen, engineers and investors. But beware: the competition never sleeps and can snatch the new achievements from under your nose at any time! Who creates the most prosperous island?⠀

Game designer: Martin Wallace

This looks cool, will it be in German only?

There will also be an English edition, with potential other localizations up to Kosmos' partners in the various regions and countries.

I would assume that any place that carries Kosmos titles will also have Anno 1800.

any plans for the baltics/Lithuania? ;) Oh I guess I can just order from the German amazon, the shipping shouldn't be much

As we are not working on the board game ourselves, I do not have any insights into this, sorry.

BGG page of the game designer

Never played any of his games, but it seems like he designed quite a lot of heavy(ish) strategy games.
Brass and Age of Steam ring a bell though and seem well liked on BGG.

Pretty cool!

He certainly has bona fide Industrial revolution credibility :)

Nice, Martin Wallace is a good designer, Brass is one of my top boardgames of all time.

We were definitely very excited to hear that he would be designing Anno 1800!

Sounds good! I've got the Anno board game 1503 from Kosmos and that is a lot of fun for the family. Looking forward to 1800 Edition.

It's cool that after all this time (almost 15 years), there is a new Anno board game...and it is again from Kosmos. Speak of coming full circle :)
