What Makes Mega Empires Special?
This isn’t just any board game - it’s a gaming event!
Mega Empires evolved from the classic Civilization by Francis Tresham, expanded through years of passionate fan development. The result? An unparalleled strategy experience that balances multiple gameplay elements.
Trade & Diplomacy
Negotiate, form alliances, and broker deals that can change the course of history. Your words are as powerful as your armies.
Civilization Building
Develop technologies and advance your society from Prehistory to the heights of the Iron Age.
Clash of Civilizations
When diplomacy fails, armies march. Send your people to war by land or sea.
Epic Scale
Games span millennia of human development, from humble settlements to mighty empires that stand the test of time.

Game 14 - May 24, 2025 - The West
Another hard-fought game in the West! We played the Expert AST to round 18 with one more round to go as the winner stalled twice. With 8 players the calamities were fast and furious with everyone getting knocked down in some fashion every round.
