EMPIRE is a fast-paced and exciting hand-management game, and 2-4 players can have a blast in about 20 minutes. (If you only play one game. You'll probably want to play again!) Use action cards (Acquire, Release, and Vanquish) to manage your hand and assemble the assets of your EMPIRE (a Hero, a Ship, a Fleet, a Planet, a System, and a Galaxy) while foiling your adversaries as they attempt to build their own! The first player to have all 6 assets and NO OTHER CARDS (Ahh, there's the rub!) in their hand rules the EMPIRE! —description from the publisher
