About this expansion

Imperial Settlers: 3 Is a Magic Number is an Empire Pack expansion for 1–4 players, with games taking about 60 minutes. Released in 2016, it adds a new rule that makes card drafting and construction choices even more engaging.

The expansion introduces SET, an ability that lets players score and trigger new effects whenever they build three cards in a particular color. Reaching these sets adds another consideration to each decision, making the choice of the right card during the drafting phase more interesting.

Imperial Settlers: 3 Is a Magic Number expands the card pool with content for different parts of the game. Its additions include:

  • New cards for the common deck
  • New cards for each of the five factions
  • Two cards for use in the solitaire game

With cards spread across the common deck and all five factions, the expansion brings the SET rule into more of your card choices. Players can look for opportunities to build three cards of a particular color while weighing the other possibilities available during drafting.

Designed for the Imperial Settlers system, this Empire Pack gives both multiplayer groups and solo players new cards to explore. Whether you are building toward a color-based set or deciding which card is the right one to draft, the expansion adds a focused new layer to the game without changing its central card-driven format.
