The Republic of Rome spans over 250 years of history. It simulates
the politics of the Roman Senate during the republic. The players
take the part of various factions vying for the control of the senate.
They control the various powerful families of the time, who compete
for state offices, military command, economic concessions and new
adherents. To win the player must get their faction to become the
most powerful in Rome.
While doing this, however, a balance must be maintained. A hostile
world situation, and the vagaries of the public of Rome means that the
players must also cooperate so that Rome herself doesn't go down under
this pressure. If Rome does not last, neither does the senate, and all players
lose!
Again Valley Games gives us a quality reprint of a beloved classic. Rules
have been streamlined by the original authors and the graphics are
completely new.
