Product Information

Expeditions are another fun addition to the game and the choice between pillaging for one off resource bonus or conquering for the action is interesting. The distant islands are more powerful but require more resources to reach. The game ends when all 10 rounds have been played and players move on to final scoring. After all points have been totalled up, the highest score wins. The cards themselves have text on them explaining what each place does and in the top corners it provides the cost to build it and the benefit that can be gained from razing it, respectively. Our settlements usually produce a type of resource, let us swap resources for Victory Points, provide a special action, or a combination of those. I like that everyone plays at the same time so nobody can copy your moves. In this game you must make your own mind up on what is the best path to take. I like the special abilities of the favour tokens, and these can bring in real differences for you and your opponents and how they play.

Use Clan Action Pawn - A player can place one of their clan action pawns to perform the displayed action. Actions include explore, harvest, populate, sail and construct. When performing this action any cards that a player has in their hand that has a "explore/harvest/populate/sail/construct to build" can play their location card first before performing the clan action. Players can also spend a vegetable to move their clan pawn one space around the wheel giving them the option to perform another action. This then exhausts that clan marker.

– Cons (Negatives)

Imperial Settlers has to be commended on the simplicity and clarity of the gameplay, compared to the depth and challenge it offers. This is a must have for any new board gamers, as well as anyone looking for a fun, yet stimulating strategy game that can be wrapped up in under an hour. On top of that, each of the four factions has its own distinctive play style and starting perks. This makes for a very fun, albeit often frustrating and mean experience where you’ll need to determine how to best manage the available resources and abilities to maximise your pool of Victory Points, ultimately determining the winner. Imperial Settlers: Empires of the North shares a lot of DNA from the original game, so if you’re already familiar with that game you’ll know about half the rules. But while it does share many similarities it is very much its own beast.

These are the basic rules recommended to be played the first few times. The advance rules for Imperial Settlers: Roll & Write bring in the idea of blueprints. They enhance the strategy and take replay-ability to the next level.

Overall, I give the solo campaign mode for Imperial Settlers an 8.5. I really enjoy it, and I think that I’ll play through it more in the future.

There are different ways that you can set out to win, but it all comes down to what is rolled and how many actions you get each turn to unfold you plan. The digital version of popular board game – Imperial Settlers Roll & Write from Portal Games. The app contains settlements from Competition Set and 14 Adventure sets from classical board game. More will be added soon! It is worth adding that Imperial Settlers scales very well, with all player counts being equally enjoyable. Naturally, the four-player game will take longer than a two-player one, but owing to the fact that players take each action in turns, it keeps them engaged and the downtime is minimal.
