Flagship game · beta
Empires is a short auto-battler in the line of Hearthstone Battlegrounds and TFT. Buy structure cards, place them, end your turn — your structures raise the troops, and auto-combat settles it. 3 copies of a structure fuse into a stronger one, and a daily challenge pits you against yesterday's best on a server leaderboard. Each match borrows its name from history; the rules are the game's own.
Sixty years of grain — and the country that quietly grew its way to the top.

Twenty-five years of research output — and the year China crossed the line.
Two centuries of world GDP share — empires rise, empires fall.
