Empire Builder is a railroad board game originally published by Mayfair Games in 1982 that underwent several editions and eventually branched out into international and fantastical locations.

In February 2018 Mayfair Games was acquired by French game publisher/distributor Asmodee, however rights to the Empire Builder games (and other Mayfair titles) are no longer retained by Asmodee.
