About this board game
Rolling Empires is a fantasy empire dice-building game for 2–6 players, with play lasting around 120 minutes. Set in the land of Terris, it challenges players to choose how they will pursue power after the discovery of a mysterious magical resource.
Centuries after the Great War, peace has endured between Terris’s factions. That peace is threatened when the Aether Stone falls from the heavens, scattering crystals filled with intense magical power across the land. Although many crystals are spread throughout the region, the largest concentration lies at the crash site—and rival armies soon begin marching to claim it.
In Rolling Empires, players lead one of six factions, each featuring several unique creatures represented by dice. Recruit these creatures to develop your engine, then use your growing capabilities as you work toward your chosen path to victory.
- Dice building: Recruit unique creature dice to build your faction’s engine.
- Area control: Compete for influence across the contested lands.
- Empire building: Develop your domain and earn points through construction.
- Conquest: Seek victory by marching into the struggle for control of the crystals.
Not every faction is consumed by the crystals’ power. Some focus on working the land and building glorious cities filled with monuments and workshops, while others pursue conquest and the riches of the crash site.
With points available through both building and conquest, there is no single route to success. Decide which path suits your faction, shape your dice-building engine, and compete to establish the most successful empire in Terris.
