Good news! Per popular demand, we introduce a rework to the Online Play in Eight-Minute Empire! Its goal is to improve the quality of life during online play by adding some much asked for features and functionalities.

The changes are as follows:
- Asynchronous play - an inactive player will be removed by the server after 48 hours without making a move. No more unfinished games limbo!
- When creating a room a maximum amount of players can be set.
- The games will start automatically once the maximum amount of players is reached. The creator of a room no longer has to manually start the game.
- Synchronous play - the timer has been reworked. Now a player will be removed from the game only if they go offline (willingly or due to a disconnect) for three minutes.
- Fixed a bug that caused some players not seeing certain rooms from the Open Rooms list.
- Soon - possible cross-platform online play with the Nintendo Switch players (27.08.2019).

Istanbul: Digital Edition - 40% off!
Eight-Minute Empire (and all the DLCs) - 45% off!
Steam: Rails to Riches (and all the DLCs) - 45% off!

This means that the bundles - Eight-MInute Empire - Emperor's Edition and Steam: Rails to Riches - Golden Train Edition (both of which contain the base game and all the additional content) are altogether 59% cheaper than usually.

In other words, this is an amazing bargain, and if you haven't already, now is the best time to pick up our games!
