(OK, since you asked for it :-)

Empire is a great game, although it can be very frustrating at times
until you come up with a method for playing that you like. We have had
a game at Berkeley twice a year for some time (during Summer and Winter
breaks).

The best strategy is to have fun ... and watch out for the many tricks
that experienced players can surprise you with.

I think empire is possibly the "game of the future" in the sense that
it could become very popular if high powered computing machines get
cheaper so that more games can be played.

A lot of improvements could be made if the game became popular enough
to hit the big time commercially.
