1880: One habitable continent remains to be explored and exploited. Expeditions set out from six nations to lay claim to the vast riches it offers. As explorers move inland, flags move across maps of the dark continent displayed in Embassies across Europe. Endless savannas are crossed, wide rivers, mountain ranges, and seemingly impenetrable jungles are overcome. Nothing stands in their way, that is, until they encounter...each other!

Ask any explorer and you will be told the same story. Nothing encountered in the bush will ever come close to the danger he faced the one time he was invited to a cocktail party at the ambassador's residence! Vipers, jackals...a veritable lion's den, these diplomats!

Africa 1880 explores the deepest, darkest jungles of them all:
the parlors and private chambers of the state houses!
