Description

A twenty-card trick-taking game for two players that fuses with civilization-building games by making each card representative of a city one is trying to add to one's empire. Winning a trick is decided in the usual way of highest-ranking card, but it is bonuses applied to the leaders of one's cities and the buildings they contain that determines the winner after three rounds, with the most points declaring the dominant empire.
