About the game
What you do in a play session
The Roman legions are marching, and the cities along the Rhine are booming! In Discordia Magna, you step into the shoes of a Roman governor tasked with transforming a modest settlement into an impressive, fortified metropolis. While Nero vies for power back in Rome, the German frontier becomes a melting pot of development and rivalry. Trade is flourishing, new outposts are emerging to ward off barbarian tribes, and the competition among governors for Rome's glory is fiercer than ever.
With a four-year deadline (in-game, of course!), you'll need to leverage your unique advantages as governor to maximize your city's splendor. The Magna Tiles offer a chance to forge strategic alliances with outposts, securing valuable bonuses and defense against Germanic attacks. But beware, for growth breeds discord! This expansion introduces 6 individual city maps (player boards) and the Magna Tiles, which are crucial for this new tactical layer. Get ready to roll the dice, manage your resources, and make tough decisions to ensure your city outshines all others. It's a game for those who enjoy strategy with a touch of luck and an engaging historical theme, where every decision counts towards the glory of Rome!
