"The time of small nations is past, the time of empires begins." — Chamberlain
What if all of world history had unfolded differently?
What if the great empires of our history had never come into being?
What if other forgotten civilizations had passed into posterity in their place?
The defeated could have been the victors, and the colonizers could have
been the colonized — after all, empires are won and lost on a roll of
the dice!
In First Empires, each player takes control
of the fate of an ancient nation through a player board, meeples, and
cards. The game lasts a number of rounds depending on the player count,
and on a turn you roll dice based on how you've developed your empire
board. The six sides of the dice correspond to the five abilities on
your board. To expand to new territories or invade opponents, you need
to unlock movement ability; to annex a territory, you have to outnumber
the current occupant or have a "sword" result on the dice, with the
inhabitants then fleeing elsewhere. The dice also allow you develop your
player board by using the die face that corresponds to the improvement
and controlling an associated territory. You can gain more dice and
additional re-rolls, while also unlocking achievement cards.
At game's end, you earn points based on played achievement cards,
points unlocked on your personal board, and the sum of cities under your
control.

International shipping
If you choose a delivery address into a country other than Finland, the system will automatically add the cost of international shipping to the order.
If you order goods to outside the European Union, the local VAT is automatically deducted from the order value, but you may be subject to import duties and/or taxes upon the arrival of your shipment. Lautapelit.fi is not responsible for any of these charges.
If you order goods to addresses within the European Union, our local VAT is included in the prices shown.
For international shipment we offer Posti and DHL worldwide; and GLS for Europe. Postal service is in most cases the cheaper option (especially for non-EU orders), but it's unfortunately slower and poorly trackable.
DHL is the more reliable one out of the options, fully trackable, pricier (especially to outside of EU), but recommended by us.

With DHL On Demand Delivery (ODD), you can choose when and where you receive your order. After your order has been completed, you'll get an email/SMS from DHL. Click the smart link on the message to access and use ODD.

However, you should note that using ODD can lead to a longer lead time or that some delivery options might not be available depending on what is being shipped. You can read more about this on DHL website: DHL Express ODD
