About the game

What is Æterna

In Æterna, you take the role of a Roman Gens (family) that will try to increase its prestige through three eras: the Roman Kingdom, the Roman Republic, and the Roman Empire.

Your goal is to increase your influence over the city by supporting the conquest of the provinces, ruling over "the seven hills of Rome", and contributing to the construction of monuments and buildings. While doing this, you must not demotivate the people in the hills under your direct control as unrest could put you in a bad light. If you manage majorities, cards, and resources better than your opponents, your Gens will be remembered in the history books as one of the most important in Rome.

What the community says about Æterna

byfed
byfed8/10
Un juego ambientado en Roma, en las siete colinas. Cada colina contiene lugares para colocar los trabajadores en el tablero. Es una combinación de colocación de trabajadores (con el fin de recibir una recompensa y si puede ser hacerse praetor de la ciudad), y ganar y construir cartas que aportan recursos o dan habilidades especiales. Se desarrolla en tres eras. No es un juego excesivamente largo, pero sí que es muy, muy exigente. Aprieta mucho. Te falta de todo en todo momento. Recomendable para jugones.
