About the game

What is Eminent Domain

Eminent Domain is a civilization-building game in which your civilization's abilities are based on a deck of Role cards. At the beginning of the game each player has the same deck of cards, with just two cards for each Role in it. Every turn you must choose a Role to execute (and like Glory to Rome or Puerto Rico, your opponents will get a chance to follow suit), and in doing so you will add one of those Role cards to your deck. When executing a Role, you can boost its effect by playing cards out of your hand matching the Role you have chosen. For example, the more you Research, the better you get at Researching (because you'll have more Research cards in your deck).

David_Trovador6.7/10

Un deck building bastante chulo, aunque las partidas que he jugado da la sensación que se terminan demasiado pronto y no da tiempo a desarrollarte un poco mejor. No se, eso me ha dejado bastante frío. Habría que probarlo con expansiones a ver... porque lo de las naves de plástico de varios tipos, como en el eclipse, sólo como contadores... va! es sobreproducción exagerada si no hay mecánicas que las hagan servir para algo más...
