Build a Roman city, watch it burn, rebuild it grander each era.

A card-driven Roman city-builder where Gallic raids tear your metropolis down at the end of every era, forcing you to rebuild bigger and sturdier on top of the old foundations.
Who it's for
Players who want a meaty civilization arc in card form and enjoy rebuilding on the wreckage of their own plans.
Not for you if…
You hate seeing your carefully built engine dismantled, or two hours at heavier complexity is more than your table wants.
Vibe's take
Ambitious and constructive with a cruel heartbeat – you spend an era perfecting a city, then watch raiders strip it back and turn that loss into the foundation for something better.
