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.

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.

Yet another high quality implementation of a well-themed game using the basic Pandemic mechanics. Like the others, I'd say if you like Pandemic and like a re-theming with some new mechanics to fit with the theme then you might like this. I didn't feel like I was interested in that sort of thing until I tried Iberia. Now, I own Iberia, Rising Tide and Fall of Rome and I really like how each game brings out its theme while keeping to the core of Pandemic. Original Pandemic is one of my favorite games. Fall of Rome does create the feeling that Rome (or other cities) are under great pressure that mounts throughout the course of the game. The alliance and then recruiting barbarians into your own legions is a very neat mechanic. I look forward to a lot more of this game.

Genuine sense of achievement when you beat the game. Lovely production and fairly quick turns when everyone knows what they are doing.
