About the Game

In For the Emperor, two ancient clans work to overpower, outwit, and outmaneuver each other to claim victory!

In this two-player duel, you’ll send out your elite warriors to vie for control of seven battlefields. Each warrior adds their strength and ability to the battlefield where they’re placed. With tricky cards that cause others to be returned to hand, amplify the power of cards at the same battlefield, and more, you’ll have to be clever to triumph.

You control a battlefield if you have more total strength there than your opponent. If you control the most battlefields at the end of the game, you win!
