At the height of its power, the Roman Empire covered a vast amount of territory and brought major advancements in engineering, architecture, science, art, and literature. Corruption and economic crisis has made the empire unstable and paved the way for aggressive barbarian tribes to attack.

Love it! Best pandemic boardgame. Contrary to regular pandemic, every role and every event is equally useful. The female roles are tricky/ manipulative, the male roles are more straightforward/ combative. The dice, which are tipped in Rome's favor, mitigate programmed play. Forts are more useful than research centers. Travel is less whimsical. Remove cubes by either fighting or allying with barbarians.

Really fascinating implementation of the Pandemic system, it feels much more thematic than the original. The puzzle is still there, but I love the element of dice rolling to defend against the barbarian hordes. The idea of corruption is also very interesting and adds to the theme as well as strategic options.
