Reception
Rudy Kraft reviewed Empire I: World Builders in The Space Gamer No. 51.[4] Kraft commented that "I cannot recommend buying the game. The general system is interesting, and another game with fewer flaws would be a top-notch product, but World Builders is not."[4]
gollark: ++fortune please provide a relevant one
gollark: Wow, 3rd in the world!
gollark: =wolf UK government debt
gollark: Budgeting etc. for it probably would take more time than editing the code directly.
gollark: Give budget to replace a few lines of code...? Your company is weird.
