Playground Empires

Playground Empires

Sterling Birdwell

3 - 6 players
60 - 180 min

From BoardGameGeek

Welcome to Watson Elementary School and the start of recess. Select a faction of students looking to make their play for the top of the social ladder. Go forth and stake your claim over the most popular playscape equipment and then leverage that popularity to sway more kids to your cause. Use your faction's unique skills (and the occasional barrage of dodgeballs) to send your rivals packing. Keep a close eye on the Teacher making their rounds. But above all don't forget that recess isn't forever, and before the bell rings only one faction can rule the playground.
