  1. 7.5 out of 10

    Fun Trading and Negotiation game that is accessible and easy to bring out. Would use it for party scenarios where the player count (10!), short time, and desire for a bit of strategy that makes it the obvious choice.

  2. 6.5 out of 10

    Played at Congress of Gamers January 2019. Interesting game in resource management and trading. I like the theme but I think this game would shine more with five or more people. We only played it with three. Not interested in picking this one up due to the need for a high count of players and the fact that the players have to be highly motivated.

  3. 5.5 out of 10

    Interesting concept but the trading felt flat, quite possibly because there's just too much information out there which detracts from the excitement of any trading game. On a personal level, the game loses another half point for having such tiny writing on the 'help' sheets.

In Empires, you represent a colonial European nation that is competing to gain the most support. Support is won by supplying your people with goods; goods are produced when your people work in your territories. You can gain people, territories, goods, and supporters by winning wars. To win wars, you must pay gold to raise armies, and gold can be earned by winning wars and by selling goods.

All turns are taken simultaneously, and there are no restrictions on trading. At any point in the game, you may trade anything: people, territories, goods, gold, player powers, etc. The game takes place over a series of rounds. At the end of the final round, the player with the most support wins.
