Mega Empires

Mega Empires is a modular empire-building strategy board game that covers the development of empires through history. It consists of the games The West (2019), The East (2021), The Far East - North (2027), and The Far East - South (2027) that can be played on a standalone basis or in combinations.

In this colossal game, players lead their historic empire as they gain victory points by expanding their population, building cities, trading and developing their knowledge and culture. Notwithstanding its large scope, the game's core mechanics are straightforward and easy to learn. A key element in the game is player interaction as they position themselves on the map board and search for valuable commodities during interactive trading sessions.

Scope

Mega Empires consists of two pairs of standalone games:

The West and The East are games for 3-9 players each, which can be combined as a game for up to 18 players. The West concentrates on the Mediterranean Sea, which requires movement by ship, The East covers Northeast Africa, the Arabian Peninsula and Southwest Asia, and has a stronger focus on movement by land. Both games were designed as balanced counterparts, albeit with unique characteristics.

The Far East - North and The Far East - South are games for 3-5 players each, which can be combined as a game for up to 10 players. North has a strong focus on the land masses of East Asia, whereas South combines the continent, islands and abundant waters in South East Asia, which stimulates movement by ship. Both games were designed as balanced counterparts, albeit with unique characteristics.
