Settlers from four major powers of the world have discovered new lands, with new resources and opportunities. Romans, Barbarians, Egyptians and Japanese all at once move there to expand the boundaries of their empires. They build new buildings to strengthen their economy, they found mines and fields to gather resources, and they build barracks and training grounds to train soldiers. Soon after they discover that this land is far too small for everybody, then the war begins...

Imperial Settlers is a card game that lets players lead one of the four factions and build empires by placing buildings, then sending workers to those buildings to acquire new resources and abilities. The game is played over five rounds during which players take various actions in order to explore new lands, build buildings, trade resources, conquer enemies, and thus score victory points.

The core mechanism of Imperial Settlers is based on concepts from the author's card game 51st State.

Lots of replayability

I would have given Imperial Settlers 4 stars, but the font on the card is printed so small that impacts the enjoyment of the game for anyone who requires glasses, which happens to most of us over the age of 50. Imperial Settlers has an easy to learn mechanic, that can have a lot of nuances as you learn the game. Card based, engine building, resource management and includes a small amount of aggression between players which adds interest but doesn't become too overwhelming. The aggression is mostly one attack per person per turn, unless you have cards that give you more swords (Romans!). There is also the option to play the nice version.

Great game

Love that there's different factions with different abilities, makes for more replayability since you'll want to try out the different factions! There's also extra factions available for purchase via expansion.

Fun Empire Building Game

I like easy to learn and play civ games. I also like Atlanteans, Romans, and other ancient civilizations. It is a very fun game. Some folks fine it too long for what it does but I prefer it as a solo to three player game. I personally follow most of the deck building rules EXCEPT I allow a mix of all expansions (basically OPEN in the new rulebooks). I build all decks to be killer and have alot of fun with the crazy combos. 8.7/10

Imperial Settlers video review

Imperial Settlers is a card-based, resource management type of game in which players try to build an efficient economic engine. This is done by collecting resources and using them to construct buildings (laying cards), which will then earn you more resources and victory points. Each deck corresponds to a different civilization and plays very differently from the others.
