Description

Ludus Romanus is a simple yet strategic game for two players that's all about outmaneuvering your opponent. With its roots in the ancient Roman game of Ludus Latrunculorum, this abstract strategy game is easy to learn but challenging to master. The goal is to surround and capture your opponent's 16 playing tiles while avoiding being caught yourself. The game board, designed to resemble a Roman mosaic, adds to the theme and immersion. In just 20 minutes, you and your opponent will be fully engaged in a battle of wits, trying to outthink each other and emerge victorious. Despite being published in 1996, Ludus Romanus remains a fun and contemporary game that's perfect for a quick but intense gaming session. With its easy-to-learn rules and deep strategic gameplay, it's no wonder that games like Ludus Latrunculorum were incredibly popular throughout the Roman Empire. Now, you can experience the spirit of ancient Rome in a modern and exciting way with Ludus Romanus, designed by Sara Finch and Leslie Scott.
