Defend crumbling Rome from barbarian hordes — together or not at all
Who it's for
Pandemic fans who want a meatier variant with dice combat and a gripping historical setting. Best at 2-4 players.
Not for you if…
Skip if you're burnt out on Pandemic-style games or want something truly different mechanically.
Vibe's take
Desperate, cooperative, thematic, tense
Pandemic system reimagined as the fall of the Roman Empire. Instead of curing diseases, players defend Rome against invading barbarian tribes using diplomats and legions. Recruit barbarians to your cause or watch the empire crumble.
