Who it's for

Players who want an abstract strategy game with a dash of unpredictability, and mixed groups of newer and veteran players.

Vibe's take

Tense and mischievous, plans hold together right up until a god tile flips the board's mood. Strategy still rules, but nobody feels fully safe.

About this game

Capere throws you into the chaos of Rome's civil wars, where an eight-by-eight board full of marble pieces hides a stack of cards that can turn any raid upside down. You infiltrate, ambush, and plunder enemy ground, but a fickle god card can tip the balance right when you least expect it.
