Roma
A fast, combative two-player duel where dice unlock Roman characters who bicker, steal and shield your victory points.
A two-player duel of cards and dice set in the power struggles of ancient Rome. Each turn you roll dice and use their values to activate character cards you have placed at numbered stations, from the Tribune to the Praetorian Guard. It is a tight tug-of-war over money, influence and victory points where a single well-timed card can flip the board.
Who it's for
Couples or duos who want a punchy, tactical head-to-head with dice tension and plenty of taking swings at each other.
Not for you if…
You dislike luck from dice deciding your options, or you want a calm builder without direct attacks. Strictly two players, so it is no good for groups.
Vibe's take
Tense and interactive, with the satisfying push-pull of matching dice to the right character at the right moment. Every turn is a small gamble on what your rolls let you do.
