Fallen Empires is a small set with 102 cards. There are many different rarities represented depending on the number of times each card is printed on the sheets. Cards appearing on the common sheet have a different art variation for each time they appear on the sheet. The printing was done in Belgium.
Fallen Empires was sold in 8 card booster packs. Booster boxes had 60 packs.
Fallen Empires uses striped collation with 11 × 11 sheets. There are two print sheets: a common sheet with C4, C3, and C1 cards, and an uncommon sheet with U3, U2, and U1 cards. Each pack gets 6 cards from the common sheet and 2 cards from the uncommon sheet. Cards are back-facing. Sometimes commons are first and sometimes uncommons are first.
2 Uncommons | 6 Commons |
6 Commons | 2 Uncommons |
In packs (boxes) where commons appear first, the commons are two independant three-card runs (still pulling from the whole sheet).
Pictures of the both sheets exist. [1]
The uncommon sheet may or may not be split depending on the box. Both cases have been observed. Split uncommons can occur in boxes that have only one independent sequence, but some boxes have more than one. I haven't observed any packs with split commons. (This doesn't mean they don't exist.)
20 commons appear as C3 and 15 as C4. The last slot is taken by Delif's Cone which appears only once (equivalent to U3).

25 uncommons appear three times (U3), five appear twice (U2), and 36 appear once (U1).
