Description
In Imperium: The Contention, you'll embark on a thrilling journey to seize the Void Scepter and claim dominance over the galaxy. With six unique factions to choose from, each with its own preconstructed deck, you'll need to strategically expand your empire, deploy your fleet, and outmaneuver your enemies. As you navigate the modular board, you'll have to manage your hand carefully, using a combination of deck construction, grid movement, and simultaneous action selection to outwit your opponents. With multiple paths to victory, you can choose to destroy enemy worlds, engage in political intrigue, or employ a range of characters, from politicians and spies to megacorps and mercs. The goal is simple: gain 8 favor or claim 8 worlds, and the Void Scepter will be yours. With playtime ranging from 30 to 120 minutes, Imperium: The Contention offers a fun and challenging experience for 1 to 6 players, making it the perfect game for anyone looking to explore the galaxy and assert their dominance.
