Ares Games and Colossus Games unveil the dates of the Kickstarter campaign to fund Mega Empires: The Far East ((North) and (South)), two new epic games in the Mega Empires series exploring peoples, dynasties, and historic developments from the easternmost regions of Asia, from Japan to Indonesia. The project will launch on Kickstarter on April 21st, 2026, at 4 PM (CEST), ending on May 14th. Check the preview page and watch the teaser trailer.
Adding a fascinating new setting and new cultures to Mega Empires, with brand-new maps, fresh civilization advances, unique calamities, and innovative mechanics, Far East (North and South) are two standalone games, designed for low player counts (3-5), that can be combined into a larger experience for up to 10 players games – or even more, with previous Mega Empires games. The new games are compatible with Mega Empires: The West and Mega Empires: The East: using the The Silk Road expansion (which is also part of the crowdfunding project), you may connect The Far East with The East for games with different player counts, or combine all the sets in a grand game which can host up to 30 players around the table!
