What is Hannibal: Rome vs. Carthage
This game uses the very popular card system which first appeared in Avalon Hill's We the People game to detail the struggle between Carthage's Hannibal and the Roman Republic in approximately 200 BC.
Hannibal: Rome vs. Carthage is an asymmetrical card driven game for 2 players set in times of epic struggle between ancient Rome and Carthage. It presents a conflict between two super-powers of Antiquity from classical Clausewitzian perspective, according to which a power only reverts to military operations when there is no other way to achieve the goal: political dominance.
Players use Strategy Cards for multiple purposes: moving generals, levying new troops, reinforcing existing armies, gaining political control of the provinces involved in the war, and introducing historical events. When two armies meet on the battlefield, a second set of cards, called Battle Cards, are used to determine the winner. Ultimately both players seek victory by dominating both fronts: military and political.

[b]Primera partida[/b] (9/10) Un wargame de motor de cartas que además de ser un clásico, es una joya como juego y por el cual mo pasa el tiempo. Imprescindible.

Muy largo
A pesar de tener sus años, es un juego que sigue siendo un peso pesado para partidas entre dos jugadores, con sabor histórico, pero sin abrumar, y con una duración más que aceptable.
Sólo para 2 jugadores, bien puntuado en foros, tipo twilight struggle
De los primeros wargames card-driven que hubo. Es bastante sencillo de jugar, aunque las explicaciones llevan un ratín. Está bastante bien simulado el tema histórico (por ejemplo, para Cartago, el mar es muy peligroso).. y las batallas son cortas (una serie de cartas que hay que ir igualando y ganar la iniciativa). Me gustó bastante. Recomendable.. muy buena opción si hay dos jugadores y no saben a qué darle. :)
