Description

"Non enim ignavia magna imperia contineri (Great empires are not maintained by timidity)."
― Tacitus

In the late Roman Republic, four noble families try to assume power over the strongest nation in the old world. Players gain popularity by affecting the four influential areas of everyday Roman:


Expand the Roman sovereignty through military campaigns
Exploit riches and supply the Forum’s Markets
Exhibit your power by offering the best shows in the Games
Extend your political influence by giving away exclusive privileges to the decadent senators of the republic.


Rome: Rise to Power lasts five rounds of play, with each round being divided into four phases:


Roll Power Dice and determine turn order
Placement of Power Dice
Resolution of Power Dice
Scoring and clean up


After five rounds, players tally their points and the player with the most points wins the game and is declared the first of the Imperator.

Rise to Power ™ System
At GEG, we have designed an innovative dice placement system that enhances player decisions while reducing the luck factor. The system uses a combination of special action cards that break the rules of play. By changing these cards to build your unique deck, you will create a personalized gaming experience that will ever evolve with you and your gaming group.
