Rome: Card Battles

Rome is at the height of its power, and its fiercest contests are no longer settled on the battlefield alone. In the shadow of the Senate, rival houses trade in legions, coin and favor, and every alliance sits one betrayal away from collapse. The player takes the part of a rising patrician who starts out with a single cohort and an empty treasury. The Via della Gloria, the road to glory, leads from provincial skirmishes to the marble halls of the capital, and each victory brings new allies, new rivals, and a longer list of enemies willing to see the climb end.
