Eminent Domain

Survey the galaxy to expand your civilization – will you colonize nearby planets, or take them over by force? Harvest resources for trade, and do research to improve your technology. Build the best civilization and win the game!

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 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).

Other Games

There are also three other options for games. We do have War of the Ring Risk based on the War of the Ring from The Lord of the Rings, however we do no know how to play Risk. If anyone knows how to play we can bring this game along to.

We would also be interested in having a Dungeons & Dragons table but we don't have a Dungeon Master. If anyone would like to fill that role and can teach the game to complete novices we'll have this as an option. The would probably take up whole evenings no maybe we could come up with some short adventures.

Colossal Cave? This is a text based computer game from the 1970s however if we bring a computer one person can take the part of the computer and out what it says and type in commands for a team of people who take the part of the player and discuss each move, draw maps and work together to try and complete the game. We could try this for half an hour an evening. Maybe start this off while we give people a chance to arrive or finish off while people and finishing off other games.
