Imperius

About this board game

Imperius is a card drafting game for 2 to 4 players, with games lasting about 45 minutes. You lead a rival faction competing to seize control of the throne as the empire’s ruling house falls into decline.

Every game challenges you to make the most of your position. Use clever drafting, secret information, special faction abilities, and varied planet effects to build an advantage while watching for opportunities created by your opponents.

Imperius is built around tense, interactive decisions. A strong position can help you press forward, but you must also be ready to adapt when another faction gains the upper hand. Timing, flexibility, and the ability to thwart your enemies are central to the struggle for power.
