Overall

Birth of America II: Wars in America 1750-1815 is in essence a strategic board game, nothing more, nothing less. This has been AGEODs style ever since their first title and, personally, I look forward to the day when their games begin to offer some more immersive aspects, such as more varied selection of period music, some looks or information about the actual life conditions in the period and the generic world view. Likewise, some more attractive graphics might be in order – at least unit animations if not anything else. In the end, I would have liked to see some more improvements in the UI - something to make this game more approachable by non-hardcore strategy gamers. Thus, I had to decrease my overall scores a little bit in comparison to my previous AGEOD experiences.

However, for any fan of pure strategy board games, Birth of America II: Wars in America 1750-1815 is certainly a must-buy title, especially if the American history is one of your topics of interest. And when the AI starts to be too easy for you, there's always the possibility of a hotseat and play-by-email games, as well as a TCP/IP multiplayer game with your friend.
