Mega Empires: The West

Mega Empires: The West is a grand strategy board game that lets 5–9 players guide ancient civilizations through expansion, trade, conflict, and calamity across the Mediterranean world.

Grow from a fragile early settlement into a far-reaching empire as you spread across Europe, North Africa, and Asia Minor, balancing population growth with vulnerable borders. Trade is the engine of progress—swap commodities, manage hand risk, and invest in Civilization Advances that unlock new capabilities and score points. The Mediterranean’s central position keeps the table highly interactive, with naval movement and shifting front lines forcing constant diplomacy and opportunism. Disasters can unravel greedy plans, so you’ll need to time your growth and protect your gains while still racing the arc of history. This standalone game can also be combined with Mega Empires: The East to support massive sessions up to 18 players. Available now at Boarding School Games—build an empire that endures.
