Rise of Empires*

Players develop their ever-changing empire from ancient times to modernity, taking into account war, economy, science, and diplomacy. Two to five players build their civilization from humble beginnings, striving to gain wealth and progress in various areas. The game is divided into three epochs, with each epoch consisting of two rounds, and aims for players to accumulate the most victory points through city construction, territorial control, technological advancement, and trade. A complete game can be played in under three hours, offering a more abstract experience than many civilization games.
