What is Doodle Empires?

This single-player, 2D strategy sandbox centers on creating your own version of history. You name nations and draw their territory within a limited drawing budget, then draw cards to expand, split, or unite countries. Other cards change leaders, establish religions, or build castles that make nearby land harder to capture.

For you if...

  • +you enjoy open-ended roleplaying and making up national histories

Not for you if...

  • −you want to compete directly against other players
