Imperium: The Contention

Grid Movement

Pieces move on a grid of squares — straightforward movement that still leaves room for deep tactical thinking.

Hand Management

You have a hand of cards and deciding which to play, save, or discard is the core puzzle.

Modular Board

The board is made of separate pieces arranged differently each game — no two setups are ever quite the same.

Simultaneous Action Selection

Everyone chooses their action at the same time and reveals together — no waiting around, and plenty of surprises.

Variable Player Powers

Each player has unique abilities that make their experience different — finding the best way to use yours is half the fun.
