The once-thriving Roman Empire has fallen apart. Who can resist the temptation to claim some of the land for themselves? Do you prefer vineyards or quarries? Or do you want a little bit of everything, with a few olive groves and an oil mill thrown in for good measure? All you need is a good trade: offer a beautiful ancient theater for exchange or throw in some valuable diamonds... Divide and trade lands, outsmart and bribe your opponents! Create a thriving empire from the real estate of Rome!
Before starting, all players receive their personal set of buildings with the building card, a stack of land tiles (there are 5 types - fields, cities, olive gardens, gems and crystals), selection cards for smaller and larger countries, memory cards and screens.
Step by step, they build up their domains by taking the most suitable lands to make their so-called new empire more profitable.
How do you get points?
For each type of terrain with the corresponding building on or next to it. Then, multiply the number of lands by the number of buildings for each type of land. The crystals earned for choosing smaller lands also score points—3 points for each crystal.
The player with the most points wins the game.
