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.

Nice abstraction of Pandemic elements to barbarian hordes attacking Rome. Very cohesive and it has its own identity. I appreciate that the goal isn’t 1-dimensional. Amazing theme.

I have tried it only as one player and I did not particularly like the original pandemic, however I’ve enjoyed many mechanics such as the the tribes having paths to Rome and revolts putting the discard pile on top of the barbarian deck. However, it felt repetitive and not particularly exciting.

One of my favorite iterations of Pandemic. The dice combat is actually of minimal importance.. If your strategy is go around fighting, fighting, fighting, then you will have a difficult time of it. They key is setting up forts and legions to defend (those remove cubes without rolling the dice). This game actually gives you MORE control that vanilla pandemic. If you know you have a problem city, then defend it. You can actually prevent a cube from being placed even if the card is drawn in this game, rather than just having your fingers crossed hoping not to get a bad draw. An ingenious design!
