Empire Creator
Card
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Draw borders, merge nations, and build empires on real world maps. Every card reshapes the world. Can your empires dominate before the deck runs out?
Empire Creator is a strategy card game where you paint the map and build nations from scratch.
HOW IT WORKS
Each turn, draw a card from the deck. Cards let you expand territory, create new nations, merge empires, split countries, adopt religions, and swap land. Paint your borders by hand and watch nations rise and fall.
REAL WORLD MAPS
Play on 7 beautifully crafted maps — North America, South America, Europe, Africa, Asia, Oceania, or the entire World. Each map plays differently.
CARD TYPES
- Expand cards give you a paint budget to grow your nation's borders
- Add New Nation places a brand new country on unclaimed land
- Union merges two nations into one growing empire
- Split draws a line to divide a nation in two
- Swap Places exchanges territory between nations
- Adopt Religion creates or spreads belief systems
- Mega Merge is ultra-rare (1 in 500 chance) — pick a nation and absorb up to 9 others
WIN CONDITIONS
Dominate 60% of the map for an early victory, or outlast the 80-card deck and lead when the cards run out. Every game plays out differently.
