About this board game

Echoes of Emperors is a medieval-themed strategic card and board game for 2–4 players, with games lasting about 90 minutes. Develop an empire’s army, economy, and technologies while maneuvering units across new lands and confronting rival civilizations.

Choose from six distinct civilizations, each offering a different identity for your campaign: Norsemen, Byzantines, Mongols, Scots, Ottomans, or the Holy Roman Empire. Explore, establish settlements, and build economic prowess as you shape the destiny of your civilization.

Cards activate units and technologies, giving you tools to direct your strategy. Combine these card-driven actions with movement, expansion, and military decisions as you seek to outmaneuver your opponent and strengthen your empire.

  • Strategic conquest: Develop your army, economy, and technologies.
  • Six civilizations: Play as the Norsemen, Byzantines, Mongols, Scots, Ottomans, or Holy Roman Empire.
  • Exploration and expansion: Maneuver units, explore new lands, and establish settlements.
  • Card-driven actions: Use cards to activate units and technologies.
  • Clear victory goals: Destroy an opponent’s capital or eliminate all of their active units.

Designed with a focus on intense 1v1 gameplay, Echoes of Emperors can also be expanded for more players. Every battle brings the chance to advance your civilization, challenge opposing forces, and pursue a decisive path to victory.

Released in 2025, this game combines medieval setting, tactical confrontation, economic development, and technological progress in a focused contest for conquest and domination.
