God Emperor

Jack McNamee, Brisbane Megagames

Set in a fantasy world about to experience a power vacuum for the first time in thousands of years, God Emperor gives players all the treachery, backstabbing and deception they can manage - and often a little more than they were prepared for. A game of grabbing what you can, and more importantly, holding on to it.
