About the game
What you do in a play session
Hey board game enthusiasts! If you enjoy expanding your empires in Foundations of Rome, get ready, because the Monuments expansion has arrived to make the Eternal City even more spectacular! The ambition of Rome's architects knows no bounds, and now they have a limited pool of monumental buildings at their disposal to honor gods, citizens, and even King Romulus himself. Think of grand structures that will elevate your city to unimaginable heights.
Just like the regular buildings, these monuments are placed on the board, but each one is unique. Once built by a player, it's no longer available for others to construct. It's a race to see who can secure these wonders first! But be careful, as many of these monuments have specific prerequisites that must be met before construction.
This expansion adds an extra layer of strategy and competition, as access to these powerful buildings is fiercely contested. You'll need to plan your actions and resources carefully to manage to build these masterpieces before your opponents do. It's your chance to leave your mark on Rome's history in an epic way! Prepare for more tactical decisions, more interaction, and, of course, an even more impressive Rome on your table.
