1492 is not a game on its own but serves as an expansion to Europe 1483 and/or Asia 1483. It adds seven new playable nations, plus optional rules to upgrade three African nations to full player nation status. With the addition of this expansion, the 1483 series can support up to 53 players in a single game. Includes a large 49.5" x 31.5" map to add to the game.
