Description
In Eight Minute Empire, players vie for dominance over a newly discovered land. Through card drafting, players acquire goods and move their armies across the map, establishing control over key regions and resources.

Each card provides both goods for set collection and movement actions, forcing players to make strategic decisions on how to best expand their influence. The game ends quickly, rewarding efficient planning and opportunistic area control.
