Description

In Empires, you'll take on the role of a colonial European nation, competing to gain the most support from your people. To do this, you'll need to supply them with goods, which are produced when your people work in your territories. But to get the people, territories, and goods you need, you'll have to win wars, which requires paying gold to raise armies. Luckily, winning wars and selling goods can earn you the gold you need to keep growing your empire. With simultaneous turns and unrestricted trading, every round is a thrilling negotiation. You can trade anything - people, territories, goods, gold, even player powers - to get ahead. With easy-to-learn rules and a playtime of just 30 to 60 minutes, Empires is a fun and fast-paced game for 2 to 10 players. Will you emerge victorious and build the most supported empire, or will your opponents outmaneuver you?
