Secret orders. Clever codes. Your next move could change the battle.

Take command in The Emperor’s Code – The Battle of Ravensfield, a strategy card game that brings secret messages, tactical decisions and rival armies to your family games table.

Lead the Amber Empire or the Azure Alliance across a fictional battlefield inspired by the Napoleonic era. Conceal your plans, decipher dispatches made of letters, numbers and symbols, and use terrain and formations to gain the advantage.

Will you advance towards a valuable objective, strengthen your position or surprise your opponent with a cleverly timed order?

Plan. Decode. Capture.

Each round, choose three secret orders for your army. Decode a dispatch to strengthen an order, then put your strategy into action. Position your units to control the three central objectives and earn Victory Seals. After eight rounds, the army with the most seals wins.
