From BoardGameGeek
Set during the Punic Wars (264–146 BC), PUNICA allows players to command either Rome or Carthage in a contest of military might, territorial dominance, and cunning cardplay. The Romans seek steady expansion through disciplined ranks and sheer persistence. Carthage relies on its wealth, maneuverability, and the daring tactics of generals like Hannibal Barca. Both factions feel distinct, with asymmetrical starting positions and access to different regional advantages on the map. At its heart, Punica is a blend of area control and hand management, designed to offer strategic bite without requiring hours at the table. The compact playtime (20 minutes) makes it perfect for tournament play, travel, or as a high-stakes warm-up between longer sessions. -description from the publisher
