A well regarded, yet possibly poorly presented, classic is about to be released in a shiny new edition early next year. Glory to Rome is a two to five player card game of city building (psst… It’s Rome…) that has been a favorite of a lot of gamers but, in part due to poor production quality, has flown under the radar with the general gaming public. That’s about to change with a completely revamped Black Box edition published by Cambridge Games featuring all new art by Heiko Gunther!
From Cambridge Games:
In 64 A.D., a great fire originating from the slums of Rome quickly spreads to destroy much of the city, including the imperial palace. Upon hearing news of the fire, Emperor Nero Caesar races back to Rome from his private estate in Antium and sets up shelters for the displaced population. Reporting directly to Nero, you are responsible for rebuilding the structures lost in the fire and restoring Glory to Rome! Glory to Rome is a card-based, city-building and resource management game.
