Romance of the Nine EmpiresĀ is a fictitious interactive collectible card game (CCG) set in the fantasy world of Countermay. In the game, players assume command of one of nine vastly different warring factions ā including steampunk aliens, a dark god-king's crusade of conversion, displaced WWII-era American GIs, and a risen empire of the undead ā to expand, glorify, or defend their empires. Through its fictitious fifteen-year history, players have shaped the world of Countermay through their individual and collective achievements, and the results are reflected in the story and the current state of the empires. That concept was inspired by theĀ Legend of the Burning SandsĀ CCG, which in turn is based on theĀ Legend of the Five RingsĀ CCG: in those real-life games, tournament results affect the actual story in future expansions.
The plot of the 2013 movieĀ The Gamers: Hands of FateĀ revolves around the fictitious game. Within the movie itself, AEG was the publisher of the game, but as a result of Kickstarter funding forĀ The Gamers: Hands of Fate, it decided to create a real-life version ofĀ R9E. The real-life release is not a collectable game, but a boxed set with a set distribution of cards. This boxed set represents the fictitious 15th Anniversary World Championship Edition ofĀ Romance of the Nine Empires, and (to slip into the movie storyline for a second) it holds the decks used by the top-placing characters for each faction that made it to the quarterfinals at the 2012 World Championships at Gen Con Indy.
