![More Dominion Among Rio Grande Games' 2016 Line-Up](https://cf.geekdo-images.com/YqvHLDkil6Jl7W_PEl62Ow__thumb/img/y-jaIZtk5a4sR4OH8UuwNJRf9ZU=/fit-in/200x150/filters:strip_icc()/pic2602498.jpg)
It's not easy being emperor. The day starts early, when you light the sacred flame; then it's hours of committee meetings, trying to establish exactly why the sacred flame keeps going out. Sometimes your armies take over a continent and you just have no idea where to put it. And there's the risk of assassination; you have a food taster, who tastes anything before you eat it, and a dagger tester, who gets stabbed by anything before it stabs you. You've taken to staying at home whenever it's the Ides of anything. Still, overall it's a great job. You wouldn't trade it for the world — especially given how much of the world you already have.
Dominion: Empires, the tenth addition to the game of Dominion, contains 96 metal tokens and 300 cards, with cards you can buy now and pay for later, piles with two different cards, and Landmarks that add new ways to score. VP tokens and Events return from previous sets.
• Other titles forthcoming from Rio Grande Games include Tiffin in Q2/Q3 2016 from Rael Dornfest and Jonathan Hager, the description of which relays much in the way of inspiration and little in the way of gameplay:
Tiffin is a game based on this experience.
• Also in the Q2/Q3 2016 timeframe, RGG expects to release Martyn F's Epoch: Early Inventors (which was originally going to be self-published. German publisher HUCH! & friends is releasing new editions of Kris Burm's GIPF and YINSH in the first half of 2016, and Rio Grande will distribute these titles (and future GIPF Project releases) in North America. Santa's Workshop and Joshua Gerald Balvin's Oktoberfest are both due out Q4 2016.
