hat if the whole history of the world had a different course? What if the great empires of our history never existed? What if different ancient civilizations had reached greatness? What if those civilizations had never collapsed, but had continued to grow over the centuries? The losers could have been the winners, the colonizers could have been the colonized. After all, empires win and get lost with a roll of dice!
In First Empires, each player takes command of an ancient rising civilization. After pulling the dice, players send their explorers around the world to make new conquests to grow and expand. The right combination of dice and occupied regions will allow each nation to develop and improve its civilization leaving a mark on history!
First Empires is an asymmetric strategic game that takes place over the course of 7-8 rounds. The different characteristics of the civilization planks, unique to each civilization, (number of dice pulled at each turn, number of repeated shoots, movement points, cards drawn during the game and number of explorers on the board) are indicated on the progress columns of the players’ civilization planks. As the civilization indicator of any column advances upward, both the corresponding feature and that player’s win points increase. In order to advance a civilization indicator, a player must obtain as a result of the dice the symbol/color of that column in addition to having control of a region on the board with that same symbol/color. Victory points are obtained via progress columns, completed finish cards and cities captured or kept on the board at the end of the game.
