Imperial
Invest in nations, manipulate wars, and profit from the chaos
Who it's for
Strategic thinkers who enjoy the meta-game of investing in nations rather than commanding them. Best at 5-6 players for maximum intrigue.
Not for you if…
Not for casual groups — the investor mechanic can confuse players expecting a traditional wargame. Long play time at higher counts.
Vibe's take
Calculating, political, devious, cerebral
About this game
Players are international investors controlling European nations during the early 20th century. Nations build armies and fleets, but players aren't loyal to any one country — you invest in whichever nation profits you most, shifting alliances as fortunes change.
