Matchbox Empires 2024

Matchbox Empires uses a unique fog of war tile mechanic. Each player starts with a randomly seeded game board where the terrain tiles all begin face down. They have to explore the area for resources using their 3 unique Hero chracters. Once they finad a place to build their Town Hall, they select a Governor to run the city and steadily create a beautiful 3D isometric city. Using resource gathering the player can continue to expand their population, generate income, unlock more advanced units and build up infrastructure to help achieve their objectives.

The player loses if their Town Hall is destroyed, if their Heroes suffer 3 casualties (collectively) or if an objective is not met.

The player wins if they defeat their opponents and/or meet the victory conditions laid out in the chosen game mode.

The game supports multiple game modes from solo build, solo campaign, coop single player, coop vs, and last player standing. -description from designer
