About the game

What you do in a play session

The Foundations of Rome: Dice Tower 2021 Promo Pack is an exclusive add‑on that arrived in 2022 for fans of the base game. Originating from Pack D of the Dice Tower Kickstarter campaign, the pack delivers three brand‑new cards – an Invocation, a Role, and an Objective – that layer fresh strategy without altering the core feel. The Invocation card, "Spared from Disaster," lets you discard it at any point to force opponents to remove one of their size‑1 buildings, replacing it with a lot marker; this creates tension and can swing the game in your favor. The Role card, "Entitled," allows you to pick a monument at the start and guarantee that only you may build it; completing it nets you two victory points, offering a safe path to win. The Objective card, "Proprietor," focuses on controlling the majority of size‑1 and size‑2 buildings, driving aggressive expansion and resource competition. The pack keeps the same 2‑4 player range and learning curve, but gives more tactical options for those who already master city‑building mechanics and want to experiment. A Portuguese translation hasn’t been released yet, so players who wish to play in Portuguese will need to translate the cards or use the English version. In short, the promo pack is a lightweight yet impactful addition that enriches Foundations of Rome without demanding a large time or money commitment.
