Earth is failing. Humanity's last, best hope lies on the newly discovered planet of Niwa. A mixed bag of national interests and corporations must find a balance between cooperation, greed and paranoia if they are to build a new home. Will you do your part? And will you keep the shareholders happy?

Politics and war in 18th Centruy Europe.

Inspired by Springtime for Hitler – if we could do the start of WWII then Bernie and I were convinced that we could do the start of the Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars. There was quite a bit of political background so that while most opposed the French Revolution, they also had others things to occupy them such as partitioning Poland.

The game introduced, I think, the concept of having umpires (as the control team were referred to in those days) to handle the activities and responses of the very small countries which wouldn’t provide enough decisions and activity for a team of players.

The game was successful and we revised and ran it a number of times. A New Age Dawns was such a significant re-design that it is listed separately.
