About the game

What is Animal Empire

Capture kingdoms, build your armies, and conquer the world in this intense medieval anthropomorphic card game from Half-Monster Games.

As one of the Animal Monarchs, you gain and army to deploy to a vast undiscovered world of kingdoms ready to be brought into your Empire. The other players are attempting to build their empires too, and friends can become enemies and vice versa in the blink of an eye. Each Army has one of four special abilities relating to their species, as well, so the strategic depth of the game gets richer every time you play.

Explore a rich world with lore, secrets, alliances, battle, betrayal, and conquer your friends to make them fight for your side as Vassals.

Be wary though: conquered Vassals still control their own Kingdoms and Armies, and can rebel against you at any time. You can punish and reward your subjugated underlings by taking or giving kingdoms, but this takes up valuable actions... how will you rule?
