Get ready to don your toga and dive into Roman politics in Æterna! Here, you aren't just a citizen, but the leader of a Gens — a powerful family fighting for prestige and historical immortality. The game takes you on an epic journey divided into three fundamental eras: the Kingdom, the Republic, and finally, the glorious Roman Empire. Your goal is simple on paper but complex in practice: make your family the most influential in Rome.

To reach the top, you'll need political instinct and strategy. You will allocate your workers to conquer distant provinces, fight for control of the famous seven hills of Rome, and invest in the construction of monuments and buildings that will leave your mark on the city. But be careful: governing isn't just about giving orders. If you are negligent with the people under your control on the hills, popular dissatisfaction can lead to unrest, and nothing stains a Gens' reputation more than social turmoil.

The heart of the game beats to the rhythm of management. You'll need to balance your hand of cards, manage scarce resources, and know the exact moment to expand your influence to secure majorities in the right areas. It's a constant tug-of-war where every decision impacts your social standing. If you can orchestrate worker placement and card management better than your rivals, your family will be remembered in history books as the elite of Rome. Do you have the cunning required to dominate the Eternal City, or will you be just another forgotten name among the ruins?
