Overview

Eternal Palace is a game of strategic worker placement where you manage a team of dice workers to contribute to the Emperor's grand palace reconstruction. Each round, you'll roll your dice workers, determining their strength for the day. Then, carefully deploy them to various locations around the palace grounds, vying for limited resources and valuable commissions. These locations offer different opportunities: gather precious jade and rare pigments, draft skilled artisans to bolster your workforce, or contribute directly to the palace's grand murals. The higher the value of your dice worker, the more effective they are at securing these opportunities, but competition is fierce, and other players may have the same aspirations.

As you progress, you'll be collecting painting pieces that represent your contributions to the palace's artistry. Layering these pieces strategically not only earns you prestige but also creates a beautiful visual record of your accomplishments, a testament to your dedication. The challenge lies in balancing immediate gains with long-term goals, carefully managing your resources, and anticipating your rivals' actions. With each worker placement and dice roll, you'll feel the tension of vying for the Emperor's favor, hoping that your efforts will be the ones remembered and honored, ultimately leading you to victory.
