What if all the history of the world had unfolded differently? What if the great empires of our history had never seen the light of day? What if other early civilizations had achieved greatness instead? What if these civilizations never collapsed, but continued to grow over the centuries? The vanquished could have been the victors, and the colonizers could have been the colonized... After all, empires are won and lost on the roll of the dice! In First Empires™, each player takes command of a rising nation from ancient times. After rolling the civilization dice, the explorers spread across the world, taking advantage of the conquest, to grow and expand. By combining the dice with the regions, each nation will develop and improve its civilization to go down in history!
