- Take charge of one civilization in [Time of Empires] and lead it through several eras, from ancient times through the Middle Ages to modern times. Each era lasts centuries in reality, but in this game it's only 9 minutes!

- Other players are on the same mission as you and will be fully engaged in the real-time action phase at the same time as you. A soundtrack keeps the pace of history and an hourglass sets your action in motion. The game will be played 9 minutes x 3 eras. Embrace the great adventure through time!

In [Time of Empire] players will play across exactly three eras. Each era consists of 3 phases. The main action phase is played in real time, and its actions are managed by the hourglass workers, which can be very busy.

There are 9 types of actions that can be selected, and there are a wide range of activities such as resource acquisition and construction, acquisition of technologies such as [metallurgy] and [space conquest], and encounters with leaders such as the First Emperor and Napoleon. At the end of this 9-minute phase, it becomes a scoring phase, in which the player's actions in this era are scored. Play 3 eras and the player with the highest total wins.

[Time of Empire] is a real-time worker placement civilization building game with a unique idea of building a civilization with an hourglass.
