Still on the
workbench.
We’re building Tin Empires for desktop and mobile. There’s plenty more to put on the table.
What kind of game is Tin Empires?
Solo, turn-based grand strategy against AI opponents. Territorial conquest meets town building, economy and era progression, with collectible toy armies in a colorful miniature world.
Is it only set in the US?
No. Tin Empires spans maps, including America and Europe. Each brings different geography, resources and frontiers to figure out.
Can I play it yet?
There’s no public download or announced release date yet. Desktop and mobile are development targets.
How do battles work without dice?
Combat follows deterministic rules. Scouting reveals enemy strength so you can see an exact forecast before committing. The uncertainty comes from what you haven’t discovered.
