Europe in the Age of Imperialism. International investors seek to gain the greatest possible influence in Europe. With their bonds, they control the policies of the six imperialist nations: Austria-Hungary, Italy, France, Great Britain, the German Empire, and Russia. The nations build factories, create fleets, and deploy armies. The investors watch as their nations expand, wage wars, collect taxes, and gather revenue. As the European nations are under the shifting influence of different investors, new strategic alliances and conflicts constantly arise between them!

Each player represents an international investor. Only those who succeed in increasing their capital and gaining influence in the most powerful European nations will win the imperialist competition.

Imperial is a varied strategy game without dice or cards. Two to six players, from approximately twelve years and up, take on the role of imperialist investors. Game time is approximately two to three hours.
