Imperium: Classics cover

An asymmetric card-based civilisation building game for 1-4 players, charting the rise and fall of some of the greatest civilisations from history.

Formidable adversaries are arrayed against you. Your people stand ready. History beckons. In your hands lies the destiny of one of history's great civilizations. Under constant threat of attack, you must conquer new lands, oversee dramatic scientific and cultural advances, and lead your people into the era of empire. Expand too rapidly, and unrest will bring your civilization to its knees; build up too slowly, however, and you might find yourself a mere footnote of history. As one of eight radically asymmetric civilizations, you will compete to become the most dominant empire the world has ever seen. Imperium: Classics is a standalone game that contains the Carthaginian, Celt, Greek, Macedonian, Persian, Roman, Scythian, and Viking civilizations, each of which can be played against solo. It is fully compatible with Imperium: Legends for players wanting to expand their pool of civilizations even further. Players: 1-4 Ages: 14+ Playing Time: 40 mins per player Contents: 280+ cards, 150+ tokens

I want to applaud Osprey games and the designers here … for trying something new. It feels like a unique push forward -- Tom Vasel * The Dice Tower *
This is one of my favorite solo games in quite a while and it's definitely up there with my favorite deck building games both solo and multiplayer right across the board -- Mike DiLisio * The Dice Tower *
A great solo game! -- Stonemaier Games
A phenomenal strategy game with plenty of replay value -- Matthew Vernall * Tabletop Gaming Magazine *
I could certainly see Imperium becoming a classic in more than just name -- Ben Shaw * OnTableTop *
It does a phenomenal job of weaving theme into its mechanics * The Broken Meeple *
Solo and two-player competitive, a great game, definitely one I recommend * One Stop Co-op Shop *
