An abstract chess-like game based on the Punic Wars. The playing pieces are casted in resin (deluxe edition) or wooden blocks (normal edition), colored red (Rome) or blue (Carthage).

Each player aims to making a friendly piece move to the opponent's deepest square or removing the opponent's commander.
