FreeCol is a turn-based strategy fully based on the rules, principles and philosophy known and appreciated by fans of the genre, the famous Colonization production. We start the game with one colonist, gradually conquering, starting from 1492, the territory of the "new world". The player's goal is not only to create a large and powerful nation, but also to provide it with favourable conditions for its existence and development through appropriate social, economic, economic, economic and military policies.

The final culmination of the game is the announcement of its independence while conducting victorious battles and successfully repelling the attacks of other hostile nations.
