Imperial is a game by Rio Grande/Eggert-Spiele in which players represent investors who shrewdly manipulate the fates of the Great Nations of pre-WWI Europe in order to increase their personal wealth.

The event will consist of a single elimination format with a Demo and Mulligan round on Thursday. Winners of the Mulligan round will advance to the semi-finals, but cannot play in Round 1. Losers in the Mulligan round are encouraged to play again in Round 1. Only Winners will advance in the round and the # of players in the semi-final/Final will be determined by the number of winners from both the Mulligan and 1st round. Players will be seated at random. If all participants agree, they can play Imperial 2030, but tables will not be set up by game type. The advanced setup will be used in all games unless all players in the game agree to use the basic setup. The Investor Card will be used in all games.

If insufficient players advance to warrant a semi-final round, the scheduled semi-final will instead become the Final.

 A copy of Imperial 2030 will be given to the winner.
