Forum Romanum — How to Play and Is It a Gem?

Description provided by Board Gems on YouTube:

Forum Romanum is a multiplayer no-luck abstract board game by Wolfgang Kramer, from way back in 1988. Place or move pawns on a grid, trying to have the most (or at least not the fewest) in rows, columns and groups of spaces. That's it. I practically described the whole game! While it's very clear and simple, it works best if everyone is willing to think and not give the next player an easy score. There's a new edition from Playte, which I haven't seen myself, but that might make this a good time to revisit this oldie! Let's look at what I think is the first edition, from Franckh (AKA Kosmos) in their "Perlhuhn" (AKA Guineafowl) line of games. 00:00 Intro ▶️ 02:08 How to Play 🎲 08:25 Is It a Gem? 💎 Board Gems highlights older board and card games that are still great games today, and deserve to not be forgotten!
