About this game
Lead Rome to glory--or obscurity--as you develop and operate your rapidly expanding ancient civilization. Pick a leader, choose your strategy, and decide the fate of an empire! Develop and refine your engine with deckbuilding, tableau building, and resource management to fulfill your edicts and bring the most possible glory to Rome. The engine-building of Res Arcana meets the card play of Mage Knight in this thinky middle-weight Euro game. —description from the publisher
