Six Sojourns revives the spirit of Eight‑Minute Empire with a bigger board, more cards, and fresh rules that make each play feel livelier. A 30‑to‑60 minute game for 2‑4 players, it pits you against opponents to grow your family and spread influence across islands and seas. At the start of every round, five cards are displayed; you pick one and immediately carry out its actions – building houses, gaining ships, moving groups of people, or recruiting new family members. Cards also carry special abilities and icons representing trades such as cooking, carpentry, sewing, shoemaking, art, blacksmithing and jewelry. These trades form sets that score extra points, so balancing set collection with area control is key.

Area movement lets you shift groups of people together, unlike the single‑piece moves of the original, and ships open maritime routes that you can use yourself or rent out to other players. Sea spaces grant majority and goods, while houses (replacing cities) are worth two control points and only one can sit on a space. The game ends after each player has drafted nine cards, then victory points are tallied from houses, majority, trade sets and card bonuses.

Six Sojourns includes six "sojourns" that can be played as a linked campaign or as stand‑alone scenarios, letting you tailor the experience. The blend of area majority, set collection and open drafting creates constant tough choices and high player interaction, perfect for fans of short, strategic, highly interactive games.
