Potemkin Empire Card Game

IBCPOT1 Potemkin Empire Card Game published by Indie Boards and Cards

IBCPOT1: Potemkin Empire Card Game is on Sale

Russia, 1787: Empress Catherine the Great is taking a surprise trip down the Dnieper River to survey her new kingdom. This will take her directly past your old, unremarkable village. You don't have the time or money to make your village impressive, but with a few pieces of timber and some strategically placed facades, you could certainly make your village seem impressive. More impressive, at least, than all the villages around it. What's behind the riverfront doesn't matter, after all - only the opinion of her Imperial Majesty.

In Potemkin Empire, up to five players attempt to impress Empress Catherine by convincing her that they have the most prosperous village in the land. You don't have much time or money, so you'll just have to set up empty building facades along the river to make your village look impressive. Draft and assign interior cards to decide which of your buildings are real or fake. Score points by exposing your opponents' fake buildings, or by passing off your fakes as real. Each building you can add to your town has a unique ability, so choose the buildings you construct carefully. Some will earn you points whether they're real or not, but beware of your enemies' spies!
