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.

Another Pandemic variant with enough difference to make it interesting. The dice rolling is an interesting departure, albeit it increases the luck element.

I really liked this variant, and can't way to play it properly. the descending on Rome is a cool twist.

We played it for the first time last night (Jan 18) and our first game we got absolutely walloped. An unlucky revolt on the very first draw, with an unlucky city filling with 3 cubes next to another, that I promptly drew... yeah not the most friendly first time. However, after losing that first game in short order, we learned enough to try again. Fall of Rome is a very tight game. Getting around the map takes time. Several times we had the cards ready to forge an alliance, but then had to take a turn or two to get to a barbarian of the colour to make the actual alliance. Definitely want to spend more time with it. It's clearly a well designed, tight game on top of the Pandemic system. We'll have to see who comes out on top for this vs Pandemic Iberia.
