Roma

Rome is in a state of emergency, the Senate and the Guard are embroiled in fierce arguments, the people are divided. Many roads lead to Rome, whether you decide to use powerful cards such as the Tower and the Praetorian Guard to protect the power and victory points you have, or instead prefer to use the Consul and the Tribune to skilfully pull the strings behind the scenes. Whoever succeeds in using their connections and manages to play their cards cleverly will at the end deserve their victor's laurels.

What is Roma

Rome is in a state of emergency, the Senate and the Guard are embroiled in fierce arguments, the people are divided. Many roads lead to Rome, whether you decide to use powerful cards such as the Tower and the Praetorian Guard to protect the power and victory points you have, or instead prefer to use the Consul and the Tribune to skilfully pull the strings behind the scenes. Whoever succeeds in using their connections and manages to play their cards cleverly will at the end deserve their victor's laurels.

Roma features unique card and dice play. Players place cards at "dice stations" numbered 1-6. The player uses dice rolled each turn to activate dice stations to use the card that has been placed at a station. Card effects guide your tactical actions in the game through manipulating cards in play, providing money or granting victory points.

In each game of Roma, there are a fixed amount of victory points in play, once all victory points have been collected, the player who has the most victory points wins the game.

Can be combined with its sequel game, Arena: Roma II, with varying play options.

Solo para dos jugadores. Gestión de la mano con algo de azar por los dados. Tu suerte en las tiradas debes emplearla bien, al estilo de Backgammon.Buena mecánica la de activación de tus cartas en función de las tiradas de dados (hay que saber en dónde conviene colocarlas). Contras: depende mucho de tu mano inicial. Hay que conocer algunos combos útiles para optimizar tu juego. Azar elevado.

Este diseño le da un nivel de azar medio/alto, pero con una buena gestión de la mano y la saber donde colocar los dados, hace que este factor se minimice. Esto hace de Roma un juego mas táctico que estratégico.Es difícil encontrar un juego para 2 jugadores de cartas que sea divertido. Hay interacción continua y tensión, sus estrategias diversas y variadas hacen de que cada partida sea distinta. Su duración variable debido a las condiciones de finalización del juego, puede hacer que s
