What if the entire history of the world had unfolded differently? What if the great empires of our history had never come into being? What if other early civilizations had risen to greatness instead? What if those civilizations never collapsed, but continued to grow throughout 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 a roll of the dice! In First Empires™, each player takes command of a rising nation of ancient times. After rolling civilization dice, explorers spread around the world, taking advantage of conquest, to grown and expand. By combining dice with regions, each nation will develop and improve its civilization to make History!
