Where it came from
Conquest of the Empire was released in 1984 by Milton Bradley as part of their ambitious Gamemaster Series, a collection designed to bridge the gap between casual family board games and the more complex world of hobbyist wargaming. Set during the decline of the Roman Empire, the game challenges players to command legions and vie for the throne through a blend of strategic movement and combat resolution, reflecting the era's growing interest in grand-scale historical simulations.
The game was designed by Doug Kaufman, who leaned into a 'risk-like' aesthetic but layered in intricate economic and military mechanics that reflected the logistical pressures of ancient Rome. Its dramatic art style and substantial physical components were intended to convey a sense of epic scale, and it remains remembered by collectors for its tactical depth and its role in introducing a wider audience to the nuances of empire-building games.
