From the creator of the game

Nate, Owner

Middle Empire is a card driven game that allows you to decide your own strategy by picking from the 3 different decks of cards.  By picking construction cards, you can try to quickly upgrade strongholds into empires to win the game. With attack cards, others may opt to try a Blitzkrieg strategy by taking over many territories, upgrading them to empires to win.  This may also involve a sneak attack from the other players.  The game is a balancing act of card picking, timing the playing, and reacting to the other player’s moves.

You won’t catch players on their smartphones checking their facebook news feed.  They’ll be watching the cards you pick and how you play your turn, to see how it affects them.

The game is currently available online for $19.99 at NateCo Holdings LLC’s website, www.natecoholdings.com and Amazon.  It is also available at a handful of local game stores in the Delaware, Pennsylvania, and Maryland area.  Local Delaware Walgreens® stores will also have copies available soon.
