Back the right empires, betray the wrong alliances, and rule 18th-century Europe from the shadows.
Who it's for
Groups of experienced wargamers and negotiation fans who want a long, meaty session of shifting alliances and area control across historical Europe.
Not for you if…
You're looking for something short or low-conflict — this is a 2.5-hour political wargame with real teeth.
Vibe's take
Sprawling and cutthroat — a long game of shifting alliances, stock-like investment, and open warfare where today's ally is tomorrow's target, rewarding players who read the table as much as the map.
7 Empires puts you in command of shifting influence over seven great powers of Ancien Régime Europe — Britain, France, Prussia, Russia, the Habsburgs, the Ottomans, and Spain — as you invest, ally, and go to war to come out on top.
