## Description
If you're already a master of shadows in 'Brotherhood of Venice,' get ready to leap straight into the heart of the Empire! The 'Roma' expansion arrives to expand the Assassin's Creed universe with everything a true fan of parkour and historical conspiracy desires. The focus here is on bringing more depth and new challenges to your campaign, allowing you to take your team of assassins to a completely new and vibrant setting.

The big highlight of this expansion is the introduction of four new assassins. Each brings its own personality to the table, and best of all: you can integrate them directly into the main campaign from the core box. It's not just about new characters, but about new threats. Rome is not an easy city to dominate, and the new enemies—such as the relentless Papal Guards and the mysterious Followers of Romulus—have been designed to test every strategic decision your group makes.

The gameplay maintains that delicious balance between intense cooperation and resource management. Using action points, you'll need to decide whether to spend your moves exploring Roman alleys in search of hidden artifacts or preparing for the inevitable combat. The modular board ensures that the city of Rome presents itself differently each time, keeping the element of surprise alive in every session. If you're looking for more content, more danger, and even deeper immersion in the Assassin's Creed theme, Roma is the upgrade your collection needs to keep the flame of revolution burning!
