Your Empire has seen days of fame, glory and wealth. But today is not one of them. Today marks the end of your Empire... plague, famine and war are at your doorstep. You must now choose the least bad option. Do you let your roads burn to protect your military? Or let go of your military to save your cities? Every choice is a painful one but nothing says winner like being great at losing less.

Thanks for stopping by for our preview of Empire's End! We're Amy & Maggie aka ThinkerThemer. We're an Australian couple with two very different perspectives of what makes a great board game - Amy (Thinker) is all about the mechanics and enjoys tight, competitive games, and Maggie (Themer) is all about the storytelling and the theme of the game, and the 'world' that the designer is trying to create. Subscribe to our channel to hear us talk about these two elements of a game, and how well integrated we feel these are in delivering a cohesive and wonderful game experience.
