Raleigh's Folly

Columbus unlocked the door to the New World, but the colonists who came and braved the danger and hardship there became the owners. Whether they were looking for riches, fleeing religious persecution, a criminal past, poor financial decisions, or were simply ready for a new start, they came and endured. They were a curious mix of working class, merchants, slaves, skilled laborers, or wealthy. Their struggles shaped their character...and ultimately, that of a fledgling nation. Their perseverence enabled them to overcome the first failed attempts at colonizing North America at Roanoke...those known as Raleigh's Folly.

Raleigh's Folly is an exciting simulation designed to challenge 2-4 teams while they attempt to build a self sustaining colony in the New World of North America. Teams must handle resources as diverse as money, wood, and iron ore as well as manage the composition of who is in their colony. Events such as fire and famine will unravel even the best laid plans! Comes complete with resource cards, game pieces, dice, and rules (includes lesson plan for educators).
