44 BCE Interview, Before Launch

Watch “44 BCE Interview, Before Launch,” a board game interview for 44 BCE from Matt Rodela - Muse & Mettle Games on BoardGameVideo.

Description provided by Matt Rodela - Muse & Mettle Games on YouTube:

KickSaga is the video series where I interview first-time tabletop game designers who are hoping to bring their board game to life on Kickstarter. Each interview has two parts: Part 1 before the Kickstarter begins Part 2 after the campaign to find out what they learned (and if they funded)! In this episode I chat with Holt Gray and Christian Forrest of Gray Forrest Games about their upcoming game 44 BCE, a all against one Eurogame where the "all" and "one" shifts each round. Holt and Christian tell us their origin story, they talk about their mix of in-person and online marketing, and who they worked with to make that possible. Rome wasn't built in a day, and neither was this Rome-inspired game! Be sure to subscribe to our channel to see part two where we'll hear from these guys after the campaign is over to see how it did and what lessons they learned.

About 44 BCE, from BoardGameGeek:

On the Ides of March 44 BCE; Julius Caesar was assassinated. In the power vacuum, you vie for control of the Roman Republic. With no clear leader in place, the Senate awards Imperium Maius to one of your rivals. You must scheme, conspire and backstab to increase your Imperium. The Senate will observe the shifts in power and grant Imperium Maius to the most powerful leader. At last, the Senate will be forced to concede, one leader has an insurmountable amount of Imperium! The Roman Empire will be born and a new Caesar will be crowned! Will it be you? 44 BCE is a rotating all-on-one strategy game. In this dramatic, emotion provoked, immersive gameplay, you are one of five suitors, Agrippa, Brutus, Cleopatra, Mark Antony, or Octavian, competing to become the first Emperor of Rome. Each year, the Imperium Maius will compete against the Suitors to maintain control of the republic. To succeed, you must collaborate with the other suitors but remain on the lookout for every opportunity to gain an advantage over your fellow competitors and slash them down. If you succeed, the Senate will declare you Imperium Maius for the next year. After clashing it out over six years (rounds), the player with the most Imperium will be anointed the first Roman Emperor!
