The 2nd Istanbul: Digital Edition Online Tournament is over


From nearly 90 players the champion emerges Troubleintokyo currently holds the title of The Best Merchant in Istanbul! In the very quick 16-round game he took over Vittorio (2nd place), KingMePlease (3rd place) and the two runner-ups Pintachan (who was also a finlaist in the 1st tournament) and asturia. The champion has won the Big Box provided by Pegasus Spiele, and every contestant who reached the Championship Phase receives a code for one of our games of their chosing. If you wish to know about the structure of the event, read this post. But about the games themselves we gathered some (hopefully) interesting stats throughout the tournament! You can see them here. If this at all sparks your interest be on the lookout! The next event will be in, roughly, half a year, after the release of Concordia: Digital Edition and will involve, naturally, Concordia itself!

Build an empire in around eight minutes!

  • Recruit troops to strengthen your army
  • Command your forces to acquire new provinces
  • Challenge your friends all over the world
  • Sail across the seas & build castles to expand your empire
  • Eliminate enemy troops to weaken your adversaries
  • Collect goods to increase your advantage

Eight-Minute Empire, by Ryan Laukat, is a quick Civilization/Exploration game using card-driven area control.

In Eight-Minute Empire, 2-5 players take turns selecting a card from the six displayed. This card gives the player a resource, and also has an action which the player takes immediately. Actions help players take over the map, but the resources are worth points at the end of the game, so players have to balance the two aspects. Players spread across the map in order to collect points at the end of the game by having majority control in regions and continents.

Eight-Minute Empire is the super-quick area control game requiring tough decisions. It’s easy to learn and perfect for when you only have a few minutes.
