About this game

Downloadable free games: Big Little games is now a subsidiary of JasterMedia.com Game Background It's the dawn of a new era, new lands are waiting to be explored... armies are growing in power by constructing ships... small tribes are now becoming empires. Who will be the first to succeed where someday others will follow? The object of the game is to be the first to control an entire empire by having your armies or navies (the small tokens) on every region of an empire. Armies and navies are placed on the game board by playing action cards. Beautiful full color map and components are ready to download. Donations are accepted.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 5.
• Rules load. At 1.8/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 12 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
