Description

Mega Empires is a massive strategy board game that lets 3 to 18 players take on the role of leaders of historic civilizations, guiding them through the ages from the Stone Age to the Late Iron Age. With a playtime of 180 to 900 minutes, this game is not for the faint of heart, but its straightforward core mechanics make it easy to learn, even for those familiar with board games. As players expand their population, build cities, trade, and develop their knowledge and culture, they'll gain victory points and interact with each other in a social experience that's at the heart of the game. Trading is a key element, where players negotiate and optimize the value of their sets of commodities, while also secretly trading calamities that can have disastrous effects. With 51 different civilization advances to develop, each providing unique benefits, players will need to strategically decide how to spend their wealth and build their path to success. The game's scalability means it can be played with as few as 3 players or as many as 18, making it perfect for larger groups of strategic board game enthusiasts. With its complex gameplay and social interaction, Mega Empires is an experience like no other, where players will need to balance development, trade, culture, and politics to emerge victorious.
