That journey has progressed to , and then back to 51st State with the release of the . This latest versions mixes the best of these games, with some new, improved, 100% amazing parts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe engine building core remains and keeps the unique decks of Imperial Settlers as opposed to the shared deck of cards to build from. Having unique decks means that you need to bear in mind the particular leanings of your deck. In the box there are eight decks of nation cards split between four nations. The only slight annoyance in components is each deck comes with a couple of cardboard token ships that aren't clearly linked to the deck you are using.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ships are a new feature that work really well. Raze tokens that used to be for attacking opponents only allow you to take your ships to the seas and plunder or make friends with other islands. Also, attacking other players simply exhausts their card rather than destroying it as in the older games.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlso gone is automatic production, so all the goods you need will have to be gained by you taking actions. Speaking of which, there is a new action selection\/worker placement circle. The circle changes each game in terms of order. To use these actions, you can send up to two tokens to take an action. Then, later on, you can pay a food to move that token to the action left or right and then take that action too.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOther than that, the game revolves around gaining what you need to activate the combos you have built in your tableau. It works at least as well as it did in 51st State and Imperial Settlers. In fact, some may prefer it too 51st State due to the player decks providing different styles of play.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you haven't entered the world of engine builder or Portal's previous efforts, then this is definitely the game for you.

Each of them begins to expand their empire, however, it soon becomes clear that this new land is not going to be big enough for all of them. Designed by Ignacy Trzewiczek and published by Portal Games, Imperial Settlers is a 1-4 player, empire creating, engine building, resource gathering card game with a strong element of player interaction. Taking place over the course of five rounds, players will lead one of the Barbarian, Egyptian, Japanese and Roman factions in their quest for empire. Over the course of the game players will see a tableau of faction specific cards and shared 'common' cards grow from their player board as the empire expands. The factions themselves are unique, each with their own play style. The barbarians are aggressive, the Japanese value trade, the Egyptians have plentiful gold and the Romans are builders extraordinaire. Using a single action per turn, players will gather resources from their empire to fund new locations, make deals, activate the special abilities of existing locations and raise an army that they use against other empires or to defend their own. At the end of five rounds the player with the most victory points wins. Imperial Settlers includes 120 faction specific cards (30 per faction) and 84 shared 'Common' cards. There are tokens representing wood, stone, food and gold. There are also 40 workers plus raze and defend tokens. There have been several expansions released for Imperial Settlers that introduce new factions (Atlanteans, Aztecs and Amazons) and new mechanics to the base game. There has also been an official campaign variant for the solo game published by the designer via Portal Games.
