Description

Spartacus is a strategic board game that drops you into the midst of a ancient civil war, where you'll take on the role of either the Roman Republic or a loose coalition of forces under Sertorius. As the Sertorian coalition, your goal is to force the Republic into collapse, while as the Republic, you must defeat and neutralize Sertorius before he can gain too much momentum. The game is all about navigating the complexities of war and politics, using a combination of territorial conquests, guerrilla operations, and power politics to outmaneuver your opponent. With a playtime of 300 minutes, Spartacus is a game that requires patience, strategy, and a deep understanding of the intricacies of war and politics. The game's mechanics, which include campaign and battle card driven gameplay, dice rolling, and point to point movement, all work together to create a rich and immersive experience. As you play, you'll need to balance military might with political savvy, all while keeping a close eye on the Republican Crisis Track, which monitors the level of crisis in the Republic. With its unique blend of military and political gameplay, Spartacus is a game that will challenge and engage you, requiring you to exercise your military-political acumen in order to emerge victorious.
