About the game

What you do in a play session

If you're already a fan of Glory to Rome and looking to spice up your games, these promo cards are a fantastic addition! This expansion introduces 36 building cards, hand-picked by the BoardGameGeek community and Cambridge Games Factory. They were the most voted and playtested by both the community and staff, ensuring they fit seamlessly into the base game. The cool part is that they were designed to complement existing strategies, adding new options without disrupting the flow you already know.

It's worth noting that these cards were originally distributed to backers of the Black Box edition on Kickstarter. While the base game has been printed at different times and with various artwork (which might lead to a slight size difference compared to early editions), most recent printings of Glory to Rome are compatible. If you use card sleeves, the size difference is practically unnoticeable.

This promo adds more variety and replayability, allowing you to explore new tactics and combos. With the hand management and variable phase order that are already the charm of Glory to Rome, these new cards only intensify the experience. Get ready for more strategic decisions and an even more dynamic game!
