Why It's On The List
  • A civilization-building game that packs in the game mechanics: deckbuilding, resource management, tableau building, asymmetric factions, multiple game timers, keywords to differentiate similar actions… and each individual civilization has a uniquely structured deck. 
Tips & Tricks:
  • Know what's in the deck you're playing... they do NOT work the same way and tactics can be very different.
  • Don't forget about Innovate (dropping your hand to get a card you want from the market)... sometimes, it's the best thing you can do.
  • It will take a few plays, but watching what other players are doing is key to winning.
Extras
  • I'm on the fence about buying the 3D-printed bits from MeepleSource - but they look really nice..
  • Here's the review I wrote about Imperium Classics/Legends for the Opinionated Gamers website. 
  • It is a brilliant solo system. 
  • Yes, I know there's another boxanother box out there - it's on my birthday list!
  • This is the second of two games on my list by designers Nigel Buckle & Dávid Turczi.
