Total War: Rome – The Board Game
Based on the world-renowned video game, Total War Rome. We set the four main factions of the era – Rome, Carthage, Greece and the Barbarian Tribes – against each other in a tussle for control of the Ancient World.
The Vision
Conquer new lands to expand your empire; grow your income through trade, markets and taxation; secure your lands with walling and barracks; use your agents to cause chaos for enemies and secure allies; recruit mercenaries from famous sources; and destroy your enemies in battle to create veteran armies led by legendary leaders, and ultimately invade their home regions.
The Board Game
This is Total War: The Board Game …. but just the beginning. The core game has a Core Faction Booster set to play any nation in the computer game, our Alexander expansion takes you East and has its own Alexander Faction Booster set, our Emperor expansion gives you a second game from the core box fighting for control of the Senate as the three primary families from the beginning of the computer game, and our Battleplay expansion allows you to use the cards to play richer still tabletop battles with the cards in the core game.
CCC System
Inside the game you will find an adaptation of Simon Hall’s Colour Command and Combat System which has proved very successful in tabletop figure wargames. As a designer Simon played the computer game to death over 10 years – it was his constant travel companion. He has brought all that knowledge, his historical expertise, his wargaming expertise to create a rich game that keeps the epic flavour of the computer game yet can be played in an evening.
