Hasbro Risk Game
This product was recommended by Emily Cummins from Food Shelter PR
Risk is the original empire building game, and it’s an accessible easy-to-get-into classic from 1957. For all the imperfections and ridiculous dice rolls, if you’re looking for nostalgia, look no further than this classic.
Machi Koro
This product was recommended by Emily Cummins from Food Shelter PR
Released in 2012, Machi Koro is a kinder, gentler mash-up of the luck-driven excitement of the original Risk and the breezy economic conflict of Acquire. A great pick for families with amazing Japanese-inspired art, Machi Koro is a great pick for families with kids as young as 5.
Through the Ages
This product was recommended by Emily Cummins from Food Shelter PR
First released in 2007, and perfected in the 2015 edition, this gem is the synthesis of deep decisions, clever strategy, and amazing immersive gameplay as players take on the mantles of great leaders, develop historic technologies and compete both, directly and indirectly, to come out on top. You’re all in for a half-day, but the stories the players weave will be retold for years. It’s my personal favorite.
7 Wonders Architects
This product was recommended by Emily Cummins from Food Shelter PR
If you take the genius of the original 7 Wonders and aggressively hew the parts which are less than excellent, you’ll end up with this 2021 gem. Decisions are simple. Gameplay is fast. Explanations are short. And competition is fierce. If you are looking for something easy to digest for your sister’s new boyfriend at a family game night, this is your pick.
Age of Empires 2
This product was recommended by Stella Scott from EasyPaydayLoan
Age of Empires 2 was developed by Ensemble Studios and published by Microsoft in 1999. This is the second game in the Age of Empires series. It was set in the middle ages and contained thirteen playable civilizations. The players gather resources that they use to create armies, defeat their enemies and build towns. You can run campaigns based on those of history’s great military leaders with new units and technologies. There are several amazing missions in the new linear campaigns, and each culture has its unique features and wonders.
In Anno 2205, the players take the role of a leader from a corporation and must compete against other corporations in developing cities and their economies. You colonize continents and transform your cities into thriving metropolises. Manage multiple locations on earth and the moon to secure the prosperity of your people. Off-line, you enjoy fully single-player gameplay, but again you can connect online with friends for bonuses.

Townsmen
This product was recommended by Sudhir Khatwani from The Money Mongers
Townsmen is your favorite empire building game, only that everything is on steroids. The graphics are popping,the empire is vast, and everything has to be done on a grand scale. The tutorial period after downloading was a little drab, but I really enjoyed the game once I went past the learning stage. If anything, this game is about perfection. Finding your way through the myriads of construction projects, and trying to balance morale, cash, and the community makes it intriguing, and enthralling.

With the new hexagonal grid, players have the option to surround enemies as well as plan better attacks in Civilization V’s combat system, which is highly tactical compared to previous versions.
Crusader Kings 2

The online multiplayer mode can support 32 players. This can create a very intense and strategic gameplay session that is not often found in games of this kind.
City Skylines
This product was recommended by Maria Mc Dowell from EasySearchPeople
The game begins with a blank canvas. The player has the opportunity to create a beautiful city. Whether the player wants to build a bustling metropolis or a peaceful rural town, it’s all up to them. Changing the aesthetics of the buildings, adding in parks, creating a sustainable environment and constructing an efficient transportation system are a few of the features that make this game so fun. The menus are easy to navigate and the controls are simple. The soundtrack is lovely as well. I guarantee that anyone who picks up this game won’t be disappointed!
Empire: Four Kingdoms
This product was recommended by Sarah Ross from CocoLoan
Though it does offer very useful in app purchases, this game is in no way pay to play or pay to win, everything is obtainable and nothing is too difficult to obtain to the point where you almost have to buy it, you can just sit back and build your castle in your spare time rather than constantly having to worry about missing a key event or an attack. All of the events in the game last for several days, allowing everyone to play regardless of their schedule, and they all provide really generous and helpful awards. It is extremely simple to grasp and grow in, and I highly suggest it.

Rise of Empires
This product was recommended by Lyle Florez from EasyPeopleSearch
Rise of Empires is about more than just dominating the city; it’s also about putting together a team to win points. The game begins with a real-time nation and medieval tactical conflict in which you must assume command. The game begins in a little village that has been ravaged by the Eastern Dynasty’s siege and the fabled killing of Harbingers. They appear to be in command of dragons’ old strength.

Total War- Three Kingdoms
This product was recommended by Steven Walker from Spylix
Three Kingdoms, the most recent historical instalment in the series, borrows a few elements from Warhammer, which you’ll find elsewhere on this list, to create a massive Chinese civil war fueled by the game’s unique characters both on and off the battlefield. Each is part of a complex network of ties that influences everything from diplomacy to battle performance, and they’re all superhuman warriors like their Warhammer counterparts.
Mount & Blade 2
This product was recommended by Steven Walker from Spylix
Bannerlord is the long-awaited sequel to Warband, and it has been favourably welcomed by Warband fans since its Early Access release earlier this year. The Mount & Blade series is known for its empire-building mechanics and real-time fighting, and Bannerlord enhances and expands on these elements by allowing players to form their mediaeval realm. Players in Bannerlord control a single character in a large sandbox universe. From here, players can choose their path, whether it’s working as a mercenary for hire, attempting to become a vassal of a powerful lord, or founding their kingdom by capturing land and expanding their empire.

CIVILIZATION 5
This product was recommended by Joseph Greene from Trinidad Birding
I love the civilization series, and I do like civilization 6, but for me, Civ 5 is where the series hit its peak. I have logged so many hours onto that game, I love building up my empire, fighting for the lands around it against other players, and racing to get to space. I love the mismatched wars of different eras and I love all of the different ways you can play the game. It has to be one of the best games of all time not even from my point of view but from a gaming point of view. If you are one of the few people that haven’t had the pleasure of playing Civ 5 yet then I really recommend you do.
