INFORMATIONS

DESCRIPTION

Take the role of one of the great monarchs in the past, and show your bravery! You will arrive in a vast and rich territory, but the path of prosperity is filled with challenges.

In Brazil: Imperial, you must build buildings, manage resources, explore land, create trade, acquire the support of the greatest personalities in the country, and recruit a powerful army to protect your interests against rival states. If you make the right choices, you can accomplish missions to progress towards a more advanced era, by receiving new interesting options for development points and victory. In the end, the best monarch receives the title of Brazilian emperor and builds a new era of prosperity, freedom and peace!

In more detail, while playing in a modular card that recreate real regions, you use a workplace investment combination, the majority of the area, and the individual powers to build an empire in Brazil between the 16th and 19th centuries. You start by choosing one of the available monarchs, its personal game board and its components; Some monarchs are strong in combat, while others favor science or exploration. You receive tasks that make you progress to a new era when you finish them, giving you access to more power constructions you spend in the second and third era of the game, then you choose a starting point on the shared card.

With each round, you can participate in an action phase and a movement phase. You manage actions on your individual game board, and you have these seven choices:

• Deployment: Convening a military unit to explore and defend your territory.
• Framework: Buying cards that represent famous historical figures to receive special powers and victory points.
• Build: Build farms, mines, cities and other structures to generate resources and do other things.
• Renovate: renovate an old building to produce new resources.
• Manufacturing: produce basic resources - wood, sugar cane, cotton or coffee - to receive victory points, improve your "action arches" and have raw materials for more precious products.
• Port: go to the port to receive a small amount of basic resources.
• Trade: Sell your basic resources to receive gold and special cards to improve your empire.
• During the movement phase, you can explore hidden places or attack other players. For the fight, you check the power of the troops involved in the conflict to determine the winner, with cards that can modify these values. Once a player ends his goals in the third era, the game ends and the players count their scores.

Brazil: Imperial has been developed with the concept of being "Euro X", a new style of play that combines Eurogames (in which you collect and manage resources) and 4X games (in which you explore, develop, exploit and exterminate ). A new concept of cards has also been introduced into this game. All the cards are different and created with modular panels that recreate real regions of Brazil and the world. Each game you can focus on resource management, fight, or a combination of the two, according to your choice of monarch and interaction with other players.
