About

Loosely translated from the publisher's site: Game about the history of Portugal and the Portuguese identity. More than a game, the Quinto Império (translated as Fifth Empire) is a journey through history and the identity of a people with timeless traditions. Based on the 5th and 6th grade curriculum, the game is an extraordinary way of remembering the Portuguese origins. Since the birth of the Kingdom of Portugal the kings always sought to expand the national territory. Now, it's up to the player of playing a Portuguese historic character, and recreate the great voyages and adventures of Prince Henrique the Navigator, Vasco da Gama, Afonso de Alburquerque or other fearless Portuguese sailor. Discover and (re)invent the Fifth Empire of Father António Vieira and Fernando Pessoa. The destiny of the empire is in your hands. Game play: The purpose of the game is to get more points than the other player or get the starting objectives accomplished Through the buying of national monuments with the trade goods acquired in trade posts or with the 14 resources, or the 9 Padrões (stone pillars with the Portuguese coat of arms used to mark the claim of land during the Portuguese age of discovery) that you can get by answering right to the questions.
