Julius Caesar lays dead on the steps of the Senate. So… what now? There’s a power vacuum and someone needs to fill it. But who shall it be? That’s up to you to decide in 44 BCE, a new board game that’s up on Kickstarter now. In the end, someone will be the new Emperor of Rome.
From the campaign:
Created for two to five players ages 14 and older. Take a trip back to the Ides of March 44 BCE, just after Julius Caesar was assassinated. Will you step into the power vacuum?
In this dramatic, emotion-provoked, immersive game experience, you become a historical icon: Agrippa, Brutus, Cleopatra, Mark Antony, or Octavian. With no clear leader in place, players vie for control of Rome as the republic fails. Each year the Senate grants Imperium Maius to the most powerful leader. Suitors must scheme, conspire and backstab until the Senate concedes one suitor has insurmountable Imperium.
After six rounds, the leader with the most Imperium will be crowned the first Emperor of Rome!
The campaign’s headed to 2x funded with 20 days left to go.
