"The gameplay is fantastic. Every action you take in Rome Alone feels impactful." - Sir Thecos
-
Travel with us, for a second, back to the precipice of the glory days of ancient Rome. The empire stands at the cusp of greatness. The people look to you for hope. Will you lead them?
The road will be hard.
It will require resourcefulness and sacrifice.
It will stretch your strategic thinking to its limits.
It will take roughly 10 minutes.
Yeah, or less. Rome Alone's small box and quick playtime make it perfect for travel, weeknights and lunch breaks.
Play again and again, perfecting your favorite strategies or trying out new ones. Build buildings that accelerate your resource engine, or roll up your sleeves and conquer new regions and call for tribute. Stave off barbarian invasions with strategic monument construction. Or, take care of them the old fashioned way: with military might! Face agonizing tradeoffs every game and fun decisions every turn.
Experience the Rise of Rome and Fall of Rome in 2 exciting card-based campaigns. Play multiple connected and flavor-filled games. Reckon with dynamic and game-changing special rules depending on whether you succeeded or failed in your last attempt.
In Rise of Rome, build up Rome's power and influence as you gain momentum during the onset of the empire's heyday.
In Fall of Rome, hang on to prominance as best you can as the light of the empire threatens to go out.
Do you have what it takes to lead Rome to glory and write your name in the history books?
Glad you asked! Check out Sir Thecos' playthrough and review. (Note: a minor rules correction is you can't work on just any monument with a "Work on a Monument" action; just the specific one pictured on the card).

This goes in my "cozy solo" collection
Played this Solo for the first time tonight alongside my 11 year old. Played campaign mode and it was quick to pick up but rich and immersive. Well balanced and fun. Recommended.
This is an excellent game with high production quality. It's truly a fast game but don't let that fool you into thinking it's shallow or lame. I also highly recommend this game.
Fast, good and portable. 100% Recommended
Currently my favorite fast Solo game. Quick setup, good rules. Getting into the campaign at the moment which is a nice challenge and has a high replayability. Highly recommended.
