About this game
Eggs and Empires turns eating your rival's eggs into elegant simultaneous math. Everyone secretly picks a numbered card, reveals at the same time, and the highest number gets first pick of the eggs on offer, except almost every card bends that rule with its own sneaky power. Chase the biggest, juiciest eggs and you might grab a dud that blows up in your hands instead. Three short rounds fly by fast, and because everyone commits blind each turn, reading your opponents' habits matters as much as the cards in your hand. A tight, quick bidding game with way more bite than its cute theme suggests.
