Summary: “Backers can now claim a Kickstarter version of the game with all of the original exclusives that were included in the first print run. If you own the retail version of the game, we have included an upgrade kit add-on that will replace all of your retail components with their Kickstarter upgrades. Finally, for those who backed the original campaign, all of the original add-ons are available (Neoprene Mat Set, Game Trayz, and the Captain of the Guard mini-expansion) along with the brand new Solo Mode expansion. After The Empire is a worker placement/resource management game set in the middle ages. During each turn, known as a season, players alternate using worker tokens to take actions, such as gathering resources, building advanced buildings and recruiting refugees. Once all workers have been committed, players harvest food from their surrounding lands and then prepare for combat.”
