Uncolonized Africa

Africa without the colonial partition: the Sahelian empires, Abyssinia, the Swahili coast and Kongo across 38 territories. Free in your browser.

Two sea routes on a 38-territory continent: this is the most land-locked board in the set, and distance does the work that water does elsewhere. The Sahel and the southern block are both six-territory regions, wide and slow to consolidate, so early aggression usually just buys you a long border with someone who is now angry.
