PIO #35 - Played It Once - Empyreal: Spells & Steam

The Quackalope Podcast - Board Games

Today we discuss Empyreal: Spells & Steam, designed by Trey Chambers and published by Level 99 Games! In Empyreal: Spells & Steam, players act as necromancers in an industrial age, using their skill and savvy to construct rails and connect a network of towns together in a competitive route-building experience. In this steampunk fantasy world, players must consider the efforts of their opponents while adapting their strategy as the game progresses. Connect cities. Bridge continents. And become the best baron of spells and steam.
