Free Gen Con Promo Card - Megatherium (The Giant Sloth)





I think it's also nice to see some other games with the giant sloth, although I don't think they did him justice where his true weight is concerned.

Unaffiliated Prison Cards

Rather than just having one prison holding one person, I thought it would be interesting to introduce many types of prisons. Used as a Capitol Card.






Capitol Card Tweaks

Finally the Capitol card makes sense being in it's own division.

Remember: You may only have one Capitol card in play at once, and they are stacked in your Supply Pile.

I am going thru and updating all that I find. Let me know if I miss any.

I have left Greece and Unaffiliated reference numbers the same as their old numbers so there is no confusion although they still indicate that they are resources, it will still be playable as your old card.

Here's a new one for you as well. He should stop those pesky rodents.

Just don't shake the guys hand.

Arctodus Teaser for Gencon 2014


I might reword this and say something about running away (discarding) if he ties or something. Oh, snap. I also need to add that he can only be played in antiquity. Got to go to work! I'm running late! Trying to find a great Dire Wolf without all that Game of Thrones crap.

Rules Update. Small Tweek

I have had a couple of people get mad mid-game because certain things were not discussed pre-game.

I have made this list and added it to the rules section so there will be no confusion.

I have also made a card that you can print for easy reference. I will add it to the Reference list as well.

If you have any confusion as to which deck is where, you can always go HERE.

I would suggest that beginners try "Standard" first.

Note: In this list, the Americas Edition is not playable until "Days Gone By", but you can change that if you want to. I may add other varieties later in the rules list. Please email me at empiresandgenerals@gmail.com if you want to see something else.
