Two rival civilizations clash as they expand their borders and vie for control of important territories. You must lead your people to victory, as only one empire is destined to rule the land. Two Empires is a two-player area control and card placement game using a deck of 18 identical cards. In the game each player will take on the role of either the Red Overlord or the Blue Emperor. You will make key decisions on where to put cards on the map in order to lead your people's growth from tribal villages into a vast empire. Players will score points for Cities, Provinces, and Mines. The player with the most points at the end of the game is the winner.
