## Description
The Augustus: Maximus Promo Card is a promotional addition that brings the Roman emperor Augustus into play, aiding one of the players to turn the tide. 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.
