"an excellent, original wargame about the American Revolutionary
War, one that utilizes the best elements of boardgame presentation
without overly abstracting from the actual gameplay."
note : 4/5

Of Eight Game Reviews
"Overall, Birth of America features the best grand strategic
gameplay I’ve seen since Europa Universalis,(...). Any self-respecting
fan of strategy and war games should pick up Birth of America,
as it delivers the whole package strategy fans desire."
note : 8/8 "Probably the best grand strategy
game out there"

General
"Pros: A stunningly beautiful game which covers a period
lacking much prior attention. Super AI and very challenging, yet
also easy to jump right in and play. All the factors of warfare
in the era (leadership, logistics, population control, and so
forth) are included. If you have any interest at all in this time,
buy it and prepare to write off all your spare time. It is that
good!
Cons: Documentation needs work and lack of a decent soundtrack
are the only weaknesses in an outstanding simulation.
Bottom Line: BOA reaffirms the fact that a couple of guys with
a great idea and hard work can still create a game that enthralls,
entertains, and educates. A must for any gamer who enjoys a solid
historical game which will challenge him every single time."

" Birth of America could have easily been a generic
game set in 18th century North America by virtue only of graphics
and text. Instead, the developer created gameplay to fit to the
nuances and peculiarities of these wars, and the hard work paid
off. The player’s role is limited at the strategic level,
but depth of factors influencing outcomes necessitates thoughtful
decisions that make Birth of America a unique and enjoyable game."
Worthplaying
"Nonetheless, if you enjoy thinking strategically and are
looking for a fresh and accessible game that doesn’t rely
on excessive mouse clicking, then Birth of America might be the
game for you."
