Capitol
Raise Roman buildings and bid for monuments over four rounds to dominate the city's prefectures.
Who it's for
Players who enjoy classic territory-and-building games with a touch of auction and clean spatial decisions.
Not for you if…
You want fast play or modern streamlining; it is a deliberate, somewhat dry classic that is also fairly hard to track down today.
Vibe's take
A measured mid-weight builder mixing construction, area control, and pointed little auctions.

About this game
A game of monumental rivalry in ancient Rome, where players raise buildings from blocks and roofs across the city's prefectures. Over four rounds you build, auction for temples and amphitheaters, and score for dominating districts. The first roof in a prefecture locks in the shape everyone else must follow.
