Eminent Domain

Explore the galaxy to expand your empire! What will you do with the nearby planets? Colonize them ... or conquer them by force? Produce resources to exchange them or research new technologies to forge the best empire and win the game.

Eminent Domain is an empire creation game in which the capabilities of your domain are represented with a deck of Committed cards. When the game starts, the decks of all players are identical. In each turn you must choose a role to start it. In doing so, you will add the corresponding Commitment card to your deck. When you initiate a Commitment, you can enhance its effect by playing cards from your hand whose symbols match that of the Commitment you have chosen. For example, the more times your Empire investigates, the more effective it will be when investigating later shifts, because you will have more cards with Research symbols in your deck.

During the game, players gain influence throughout the universe when they expand their Empire, research and exchange resources. You can explore to find planets and colonize them or start a war to incorporate them into your empire (turn them around) and exploit their capabilities and influence, produce resources to exchange them or research new technologies. The player whose empire has the most influence at the end of the game will dominate the galaxy!
