In a shattered world where the Great Engine, a colossal machine that once united everything, has collapsed, four rival empires vie for dominance. Each seeks to restore the Great Engine and, with it, rule the world. You take on the role of one of these empires, each with its own unique traits and goals. The game centers around a rotating engine, where you and other players simultaneously choose your actions. Do you want to attack, defend, gather valuable resources, export goods, or invest in inventions for points? The choice is yours, but remember, others are acting too! By rotating your engine's gears, you determine the available actions for the round. Bluffing is a powerful tool here; try to deceive your opponents about your true intentions. The ultimate goal is to accumulate the most points from goods, soldiers, and inventions stored in your score pile. It's a pocket-sized microgame, perfect for those seeking strategic decisions in quick matches, with a touch of steampunk and inter-empire conflict.
