Today it has been 25 years since the first EU boardgame appeared in shops in France.
A few months later it reached the other countries, before becoming almost 7 years later the computer game that we know (and which changed a lot since I adapted it for Target Games at the time).
The game had been in development for quite some time before this official release, as the first real sample is from the early 90’s. And I even found back a prototype – called East India Companies - I had made back in 86-87 which was somewhat of a precursor of Europa.
So over 30 years ago now! Does not make me feel younger…
