Each branch has their own unique effects and strategies for winning. In the end whichever empire is able to gain the most signets wins! Empires of Zidal is a deck building game for 2 to 4 players. The game is set in the land of Zidal and every player is the ruler of one of Zidal's empires. The deck you build throughout the game consists of people from within your own empire. Will you decide to create a military empire and populate your realm with generals, knights, and archers? Will you take advantage of the market by training your children to be merchants, negotiators, and analysts? Will you populate your empire with magic, labor, or entertainment workers... or a combination of two or more employment branches? It's up to you to decide.
