Pax Emancipation Board Game
$55.00
A Global Struggle to Abolish Slavery
A global struggle for freedom, fought with ships, laws, and ideals.
Are there historical board games that explore the rise of human rights? Yes! Pax Emancipation takes you to the heart of the Enlightenment, where you play as a reformer leading the global abolitionist movement. Through a mix of politics, naval strategy, and grassroots activism, you’ll work to dismantle the transatlantic slave trade, one law, one region, one rebellion at a time.
Send warships to challenge colonial powers. Influence imperial courts to pass abolition laws. Support resistance movements across three continents. With solo, co-op, and competitive modes, Pax Emancipation is both a historically grounded simulation and a compelling strategic experience.
How to play Pax Emancipation?
Assign warships to blockade slave ports or intercept slave ships, install missions, trading posts, and colonies in foreign lands steeped in serfdom, challenge the institution of slavery on moral and legal grounds in courts, and sanction underground railroads, slave revolts and revolutions. Play in cooperative-competitive, cooperative, or solitaire modes. If victorious, you achieve the greatest political accomplishment in history: making slavery everywhere illegal.
