The Manhattan Project: Energy Empire is a standalone strategic board game set in the atomic age after World War II, in which players lead different nations striving to build the strongest possible industrial, economic, and governmental systems. Instead of war, the main threat is the environmental impact of industrialization — pollution, global crises, and the consequences of industrial growth.

Players develop their nation by collecting resources, constructing buildings, and exploiting various energy sources, from coal and oil to nuclear and solar power.
Manhattan Project: Energy Empire includes all the gameplay from the original edition, as well as the "Cold War" expansion, the new "UN Envoys" expansion, and more!

Energy Empire combines three core mechanics: worker placement, tableau building, and resource management.

Each round, a player chooses between two main actions:

• Work – place a worker on the main board and activate buildings in their tableau, spending energy in the process.
• Generate – roll special energy dice to refill their energy supply (nuclear, coal, oil, solar, etc.).

Board spaces can never be completely blocked, as players may spend energy to use a space that is already occupied. Most actions create pollution, which must be cleaned or controlled, as it affects final scoring and can trigger global crises.

Manhattan Project: Energy Empire is a thoughtful, thematically rich, and strategically refined game that blends industrial development with the challenges of environmental protection. 🌍
