Description
In Europe in the age of Ancien Regime in 7 Empires, 2-6 players compete for political and military dominance. They gain and lose shifting control over seven old empires, some of them more powerful than others: Great Britain, Kingdom of France, Kingdom of Prussia, Russian Empire, Habsburg Empire, Ottoman Empire, and Kingdom of Spain. Try to build up your influence on the most powerful Empires, and let them fight with frigates, ships of the line, infantry, and artillery, all to your personal favor!

- Tiny Epic Game of Thrones it's a 2024 game it says assume the role of a mighty House of the Seven Kingdoms
- players utilize an Innovative limited action dice mechanism M to strategically choose cards such as plot whisper event March and sail with the options to follow other players actions
- players will yield an immense amount of Power with their respective houses through a versatile hand of multi-use cards that allow players to plot against the influential houses of Westeros orchestrate grandio events and partake in exhilarating battles
- Worms span I'm being factious this is like one of the most talked about games over the last few weeks this is a reimplementation of wingspan all about dragons
- Build a cavernous Sanctuary for Dragons of all shapes and sizes
- your player board starts out small they're caves and at the beginning of the game your cave is Tiny I think there's only room for one Dragon but as you play through the game you can dig out your cave allowing you to put more dragons in there
- Wormspan looks cool I like dragons I think they're cool I think the artwork looks neat
- I'm intrigued like wingspan is one of the more popular games to come out in the last seven years and here is a follow-up game with a new theme and some new mechanics I want to see how this one goes

- influence — the players are actually get with they've got influence in the different empires. So you as a player, you will have influence in different empires. And if it gets to France's turn and you have the most influence in France, then you get to play as France.

Quotes (from this video)
- So, the highest ranked game I haven't played is Eclipse: Second Dawn.
- Each year I play more more games and each year I have played fewer of the top 100. BGG's top 100 is turning into heavy game central, for sure.
- Daydream is a cozy roll and write.
- Stop telling me your games are cozy.
- Terraria on the box says 45 minutes per player. I don't even know what what was going on there because someone was like, you lots of publishers lie about time. No one lies that that egregiously. It is not even remotely 45 minutes a player.
- I don't like Imperial at all. There's my review of
- Wise Wizards definitely said they're kind of on the uh that they're that they're struggling with a lot of stuff. So, I hope it works out pretty well.
- That was Zen Camilla, and they said it was really really hard, which made me not really particularly want to play it that strongly. I like to play games that are easier, not as difficult.
- Um, there's there's always things we're working on. Uh there's something small bag that we're working on. I can't really talk about that. Um, yet, but you'll know about that in a few weeks.

Quotes (from this video)
- I thought when I read the rules for this game that oh that sounds fun because you're playing cards from your hand and you have to keep or kill them and you want to keep the relevant information to your case and discard the non-relevant.
- No it wasn't it was very hard, very hard and not fun.
- I think we could recommend them if you enjoy this kind of shorter detective style games.
