Play Overview
Run an Empire (2016) is a combination of real-world running and a strategy game where you battle other players for land and resources. Once set up you run around your neighbourhood, which in the game is divided into small hexagons. As you encircle areas in the real world they become yours on that map and provide you with an income in the game.
Whether walking to your workplace or running a marathon, capture the places you move through to build a formidable empire. Explore further to collect resources and earn great fortunes. Lead your people from the dawn of time to the Space Age.
You can then take on other nearby players to earn additional chests if you have enough resources. Or battle neighbours and friends to capture nearby castles by running in their hex to deploy warriors (multiple times if you have the leg power).
You can also find time-limited items in your area to go and find on a run and earn extra points to build your defences and kingdom.
