The card is given to the youngest player during setup and, each turn, when a drawn token prevents the holder of Augustus from placing a legion on a card, they can use the opportunity to place or move a legion, then pass the card to the next player. This creates an unexpected mutual aid dynamic and adds a surprise element to the game. The card works only with the base game, being a single component that does not alter the core rules but offers a new layer of strategy, especially in 2 to 6 player games with a typical 30‑minute length. If you enjoy card games with a historical theme and want something that gives a little extra help, the Augustus: Maximus Promo Card is a fun and strategic choice that can change the course of the game without overly complicating the normal flow. ## FAQ ### What is the playtime?
