Selected as the premier game of the year, GAMES Magazine in the December 2003 issue stated, "New England had no serious competition for our top award, even in a year of many strong releases."

"This award is a tremendous honor," says Jeremy Young, CEO of Uberplay Entertainment. "When we first played New England, we knew that it would be a great success. The novel bidding system, which controls how much people pay for items, as well as the turn order, is something that we haven't seen before in a game. New England can be explained in about five minutes and it is easy enough for the whole family to enjoy."

New England has beautiful and premium-quality components that include a large fold-out board, 60 land tiles, 1 game bag, 58 development cards, 13 pilgrim figures, 11 barn figures, 10 ship figures, 4 marking stones, 10 bidding chips, 3 victory point cards, 1 starting player marker, 12 starter tiles, 4 family cards, 60 money chips, 1 set of game rules and 1 game overview sheet.

New England is for 3 to 4 players, ages 10 and older. Playing time is 45-60 minutes. New England is available now at all major game distributors, hobby game stores and online.
