Out 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." "Probably the best grand strategy game out there”

Armchair General: “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!”
