Description

By Roberto A. Ullfig

Now you can relive the period from the expulsion of Tarquinius Superbus, the last Roman king, and the establishment of the Roman Republic through all the politics, conflicts and intrigue that made Rome what it was when it first faced Hamilcar in the First Punic War.

Includes

  • 36 Republic of Rome™-sized cards
  • 16 one inch tiles
  •  8-page rules booklet

Intriguing characters and settings

Also includes extensive historical background notes.

Not only fun in its own right, play it to reach a different and more organic beginning for your Republic of Rome™ matches!

IMPORTANT: requires The Republic of Rome™ to play. The game does not use any artwork from the existing game, which means the card backs are different. However, there are enough new card backs that it is impossible to thereby tell exactly which card a player draws or holds.

Even more fun!

If you happen to own The Republic of Carthage you can use this to play Rome in parallel with the Carthaginian Early Republic in the Grand Scenario that pits the two empires against one another.
