About the game
What you do in a play session
When a card is finally built, it integrates into your empire, increasing your productive capacity. But here's the twist: the production phase follows a specific order, so planning your constructions in advance is essential to optimize your resources and not fall behind. It's a delightful challenge of optimization and anticipation, where every card choice and every construction directly impacts your ability to generate the resources needed for the next steps.
In addition to the base experience, the game expands with expansion boxes that introduce an innovative Campaign mode. In these campaigns, you follow an engaging narrative, face gameplay twists, and, at the end, open a reward booster. These boosters reveal new cards that enrich your base game and serve as a record of your adventures. Best of all, the campaigns are fully replayable and do not require component destruction, ensuring the fun continues for a long time. Get ready to customize your empire, make strategic decisions, and build a truly wonderful world!
