Description
Roma Invicta is a game of strategy and skill, where two players take on the roles of the Carthaginians and the Romans in a simulation of the first two years of Hannibal's campaign in Italy. The game is easy to learn, with straightforward rules that allow players to dive right into the action. The Carthaginians have three armies, while the Romans have four, and players must maneuver these armies around the 17 regions of the map of Italy, undertaking different actions such as ravaging and combat. The game's simple framework, where players take turns making moves, adds to the excitement and challenge of the game. As players navigate the game, they must balance the risks of battle with the need to protect their empire from demoralization. The Romans must be careful not to let the Carthaginians ravage the land unimpeded, while also avoiding all-out battles that could lead to the destruction of their armies. The game's combat rules are simple, yet interesting, with twists such as ambushes that can turn the tide of battle. With a playtime of 90 minutes, Roma Invicta is a game that can be completed in an evening, making it a great option for those looking for a fun and challenging game to play with a friend. Published in 2008, Roma Invicta has been a favorite among fans of ancient warfare and strategy games, and its unique blend of simplicity and depth makes it a game that will continue to be enjoyed for years to come.
