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.

I like the game. I don’t like Pandemic, but this theme is a bit better and dice rolling is much needed or else Pandemic games are simply too dry. I would rate the Cthulhu game just above it as the spreading mechanic is packed into a more thematic appearance of the next Boss in Cthulhu which suits that game even better. I would say around a 6 Great time filler and not easy but not a wargame.

Interesting take on the system, certainly better than Cthulu. Not really any room for it in my collection with Rising Tide and Iberia's existence, however.

A great game that merges strategy with theme. It is a step up for pandemic strategy-wise with new things such as how the barbarians travel but also adds the excitement of battling with dice rolls. The downside is the dice makes the game luckier but I don't mind that as it adds to the theme and it does not make the game overly lucky in my opinion. But like Pandemic, the alpha gamer issue is still there. For me, this replaces base Pandemic and I can't recommend it more as a co-op game.
