You are one of the legendary leaders of the Roman Empire. And it's time to show your mettle. Expand your empire through military conquest. Build infrastructure and glorious monuments. All while keeping the barbarian hordes at bay. Will you bring glory to the Empire? Or will your reign be just another forgotten page in history? Rome Alone is a fast-playing solo resource management game. Draw cards and manage tough decisions about what to use them for each turn. Collect industry, culture and military resources. Spend those resources to conquer regions or build buildings to improve your engine. Or, work towards constructing monuments with powerful abilities and scoring potential. Be sure to save enough military resources to defend from increasingly menacing barbarian invasions at the end of the round! At the end of round 3, compare your score to the history books to gauge your success. Engage in the optional campaign mode to play a connected series of games and determine your ultimate fate. When the challenges start stacking up, will any stand by your side? Do you have what it takes to manage Rome Alone? -description from the publisher
