📖 About This Game

Trying to squeeze Diplomacy into a reasonable amount of time, Eon designed Borderlands to be a game where political wrangling is a must, and a free market society fuels the ambition for conquest. Borderlands blends the conflict and deal-making elements from Diplomacy with resource management inspired by Settlers of Catan. The German edition of the game, Ascalion, contains elements from the two Borderlands expansions. Reimplemented by Gearworld: The Borderlands
