Four of the world's greatest powers colonize a land full of new resources and new opportunities for the development of their people. Romans, Egyptians, Barbarians, and Japanese engage in a battle of conquest to expand the boundaries of their empires in an area... too small to accommodate them all.

They build mines, barracks, farms, and anything else needed to exploit the resources of the new land and defend themselves from other potential conquerors. Imperial Settlers is a card game in which players try to earn the most victory points during 5 rounds. In your turn, you can use the buildings (cards) in your hand either by building them, paying the necessary materials, or by trading them to increase your production in various types, or by burning them for raw materials. Actions are taken one by one by the players until everyone passes. A medium-length card development and management game, lasting 60 minutes.
