Engine building game
Underground Empire is a standalone card game set in the world of Settlers. It features engine building, intuitive rules, gorgeous illustrations and highly enjoyable gameplay full of chain reactions and interconnectedness between cards. Build up your mine, use the abilities of the six factions, advance on the Progression tracks and.... beat your opponents on points!
Mine Construction
In Underground Empire, players build their mines. They start by playing a card just below the surface board, and with subsequent cards they expand the mine in width and depth.
Chain reactions
Each new card in the mine activates itself and the cards above it, setting off a whole chain reaction of actions. Combo's and links change depending on where you add the new card.
Progression boards
As players expand their mines, they advance on Progress boards. Three of these boards are selected at random before the game starts. Each brings a different strategic feature to the game.
Bonuses and combos
It's worth advancing on the Progression tracks! There are bonuses waiting to help you develop your mine, activate links between cards and crank out even better combos.

6 factions
The cards belong to 6 factions - Scots, Egyptians, Atlanteans, Barbarians, Japanese and Romans. Each faction offers different strategies!
