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.

An excellent use of the seemingly flexible Pandemic rule base. I probably like this at least as much as other Pandemic variants i have played

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!

Same mechanisms as Pandemic but some added touches to take it up a notch. The dice to make battle more exciting is a fun touch. The limited amount of each color of cards made it a bit more strategic. The alliance colors still invading made it tougher as well as having more revolts in the deck than base pandemic. We really enjoyed it. You definitely have to play it with the right group as that really controls the experience. It's different enough for us to keep it and play it as often as the base pandemic. Played this again and I feel like it's a little more tense than the other pandemics. Having to keep recruiting ones you already allied with make it more difficult to stop the sacking. It's also more difficult to move as you can I my jump to ports and have to spend more actions recruiting and taking you with them. I like the randomness and surprise of the dice for huge battles. How the cubes travel back adds another layer of suspense. It's one of my favorites in the series because of how different it feels and challenging it is compared to the others.
