Consider my Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/Bowersgamecorner Purchase games on Amazon and support the channel!?: http://amzn.to/2rTdgsf Get a peak behind the scenes and join my Facebook Group!: https://www.facebook.com/BowersGameCorner For More Info: https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/472138/micro-empires From The Publisher: Micro Empires is a strategic civilization-building game where players compete to forge the most prestigious empire. Throughout the game, players draft cards and manage resource tokens to construct a tableau representing their civilization's development. Each turn, players draft a set containing one Structure card and two Resource tokens. You can pay coins to construct the card immediately, or discard it for gold. The resource tokens you claim are then assigned to activate your structures or sold for cash. Watch the Reserve track closely: when you draft a card, its paired resource is removed and replaced from the bag. If two Military tokens occupy the Reserve simultaneously, a Conflict triggers, scoring players Victory Points based on their units on the map. Don't forget to invest in the Science & Technology track. Progressing across three distinct tracks unlocks perks and passive abilities that shape your empire's growth. Game End The game ends when a player completes their 10th building or when the Final Conflict is resolved. At this point, the player with the most Victory Points (VP) is declared the winner.
