Description

The Wars of Marcus Aurelius is a solitaire game that puts you in the shoes of the Roman Emperor as he navigates the challenges of the Marcomannic Wars. With easy-to-learn rules, you'll guide your legions through a series of battles and strategic decisions, all while managing resources, troop shortages, and the threat of plague. The game is driven by a combination of card play and dice rolling, making each turn a unique and exciting experience. As you play, you'll need to balance your military campaigns with the need to maintain your standing with the Senate and people of Rome. With a playtime of 30 to 90 minutes, you'll be fully immersed in the world of ancient Rome, making tough decisions and facing the consequences of your actions. Will you emerge victorious, having pacified the barbarian tribes and secured your legacy, or will you succumb to the pressures of war and politics?
