Eight-Minute Empire, by Ryan Laukat, is a quick turn based Civilization/Exploration game using card and coins based area control mechanics.

In Eight Minute Empire, 2-5 players take turns selecting a card from the six displayed. This card gives the player a resource, and also has an action which the player takes immediately. Actions help players take over the map, but the resources are worth points at the end of the game, so players have to balance the two aspects. Players spread across the map in order to collect points at the end of the game by having majority control in regions and continents. Mind your coins, though! They're limited and you need them to get the cards you want!

8 Minute Empire is a super-quick area control game requiring tough decisions. It’s easy to learn and perfect for when you, your friends or your family only have a few minutes.

great digital implementation of the game. really enjoying it. bought everything in their sale, i persoanlly think paying their full asking price is too much. perhaps controversial, but could be interesting to have an option to extend games by a turn or two, see how it plays differently (perhaps a new feature for developers to think about). the catan app did this by offering you the option to extend the game to 11 or 12pts - added a bit of variety to the game play

Love this app. This is a really good implementation of the board game logic and makes for a nice quick amuse-bouche. The huge range in achievements is great; there are a lot of different win scenarios to try out. The look and feel though is just what I wanted from an app of this game, hands down the best digital adaptation I've ever played.

Strategy game that is short and too barebones. Majority of score comes from goods you pick on cards so you can almost ignore the board. Too simplistic, not well balanced enough. Need more work to be a decent game.

Thanks for your feedback! Eight-Minute Empire is a digital implementation of the already existing Eight-Minute Empire board game therefore we cannot make any changes in matters of rules and mechanics. We highly encourage you to give Eight-Minute Empire another chance! :)
