About the game
Get ready to travel back in time and join the loyal subjects of the legendary Qin Shihuang, the first emperor of China! In 'O Grande Imperador' (The Great Emperor), your mission is nothing less than to help erect one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World: the imposing Great Wall of China. Forget the pickaxe and shovel; here, your main tools are your strategic mind and a good deck of cards.

The objective is simple yet challenging: be the first to get rid of all your cards, proving you are the master of management and planning. Whoever achieves this feat will not only be remembered as the greatest builder of all time but will also secure a place of honor and eternal glory in imperial history. It's a fast, dynamic game perfect for those who enjoy a good card challenge with a historical twist.
