Based on the world-renowned video game, Total War: ROME - The Board Game allows up to four players to play as the leaders of Rome, Carthage, Greece, and Barbarian Tribes of Gallo-Germania. Each player will conquer new lands, develop their faction, claim territories, recruit epic armies, fight enemies in intense battles, build their cities, raise taxes, spy, riot, trade, and so much more!

Set in the Ancient World, Total War: ROME: The Board Game sees players take control of the main combatants in Europe from 400BC to 50BC as they seek to build their own empire and take control of the region surrounding the Mediterranean Sea. In under three hours, players will carefully balance their faction's military and economy as they compete to be the first to reach the top of the victory point ladder.

The Battle Play Expansion for Total War: ROME: The Board Game adds a deeper, more tactical battle experience - the equivalent of hitting "Play Battle" in the video game. Using the same army card decks from the core game, fight a battle where you deploy your army in formations and fight 4 phases over 10-15 minutes. Use this expansion in conjunction with the core game or fight standalone battles and tournaments. You can even refight famous battles from history with Battle Play!
