Description

The Romans is a game of strategy and conquest, where 1 to 4 players take on the role of building and expanding the Roman Empire. Starting with a small Italian Kingdom, players must navigate the challenges of development and expansion, all while fending off enemies and barbarian invasions. The game is not just about military might, as players must also manage their Senators, who can be placed in various buildings to gain promotions, recruit legions, and build cities and fortifications. As players progress through the game, they'll have multiple opportunities to score victory points and make key decisions that will impact their chances of success. With a playtime of 90 to 150 minutes, The Romans offers a engaging and immersive experience, with a mix of dice rolling, worker placement, and area majority mechanics that will keep players on their toes.
