A new edition of a modern classic! Manhattan Project: Energy Empire includes all the gameplay from the original edition, plus the “ Cold War ” expansion, the new “ UN Envoys ” expansion, and more!

From the ashes of war, nations rise to power in the atomic age! Each player takes control of a nation struggling for power in the late 20th century. Players build their nation's industry, trade, and government by acquiring resources, constructing structures, and exploiting energy sources.
The Energy Empire's primary threat is not war, but the uncertain global impacts that come from the side effects of industrialization and pollution. Many actions come at a cost. Thus, as nations become more industrious, they also increase the amount of pollution in the environment. Careful use of science can mitigate the damaging effects of industry and can also help prevent global crises.

Energy Empire uses worker placement, tableau-building, and resource management mechanics. Each turn, a player can choose to work or generate. In a work turn, a player plays a single worker onto the main board, then uses workers and energy to activate cards on their tableau. Players can spend energy to use an occupied space on the main board, so no space is ever completely blocked. Additionally, players can renew their energy supplies by rolling “energy dice” representing nuclear, coal, oil, solar, and other forms of energy.
