Description

Rome & Roll is a heavy roll-and-write board game by Dávid Turczi and Nick Shaw in which 1-4 players compete to craft an empire. Draft from a pool of custom dice to collect resources, construct the town, and organize armies. Political alliances, the colonies, and even the Gods all have a part to play. Imperii Gloria! • Draft the dice to match your needs: roll, draw, and win! • Play one of seven unique character classes, ranging from merchants to military leaders, with a wealth of different strategies to deploy. • Take advantage of four possible scoring avenues: construct buildings, trade resources, conquer unruly colonies, and renovate the Roman road network. • Make political alliances and call on the Gods. • Raise armies and invade settlements as far afield as Egypt and Spain. • Build roads and manage unruly provinces.
