The players slip into the role of rich patricians in ancient Rome. Everyone is trying to build a lucrative city district to score as many prestige points as possible. The novel way to get to the individual buildings of a district combined with a large variety of score cards make for an unusual game with a large number of strategies. From the successful designer, Stefan Feld.
A really nice design by Stefan Feld. I'm not usually a big fan of tile placement but this game does it in such a way that keeps me interested all game. Resources are in short supply but feel so rewarding when you do obtain them. Many different ways to score without becoming too overwhelming. This game just hits the right sweet spot for casual/strategic Euro. Theme and production let it down a bit, but the game itself is solid.
