Description

Gempire is the strategic hidden-action, city-building board game with different victory conditions virtually every time you play! King Zarmund is holding a grand competition to decide his new capital city! He'll make 3 random demands at the beginning of the game. The first architect to satisfy any 2 of these 3 demands wins the game!

However, do you want to know the best part about Gempire? You NEVER have to wait your turn! That's right! EVERY player uses their own secret planning dry-erase book to choose their actions every round, and the entire group reveals their choices simultaneously! Now you can get the most action out of the limited time you have with your gaming buddies!

Using your secret Gempire planning book and your unpredictable wit, build up your city's population, gold, culture, and science and try to meet King Zarmund's random Demands in ways that your friends never saw coming! Upgrade your city, renovate your palace, and discover technologies that give you a leg up on your undeveloped opponents. Most of all, let NONE of them predict what you are writing! Always try to stay one step ahead and be the one laughing manically when the books fly open!

The re-playability of this game doesn't just stop at the victory conditions though! Every game, there will be a different combination of 5 useful technologies the players can discover to boost themselves to the finish line! Also, the rewards received for upgrading your palace are different every game as well! You truly will need to adapt and fine-tune your strategy every time you play this game!

If you are looking for a unique and highly engaging strategy game, Gempire is the game you've always wanted. There are no random, unforeseeable events that destroy your strategy. There is no way for vengeful opponents to easily ruin all your hard work planning a strategy (except for having a better one of course!) There are no unbalanced characters or races. And dice results are available for EVERY player, meaning no more losing just because the dice won't fall your way! Every player has the exact same opportunities 100% of the time. This game is purely a battle of brains! It's up to you to outsmart your friends to victory!
