It's a cooperative game where 1 to 3 players take on the roles of the praetors and consuls sent by Rome to dominate the region. The game is based on the TETRARCHIA system but introduces new elements like Roman coins and road building, along with a difficulty matrix that offers an impressive 243 challenge levels. Besides the cooperative mode, there's a competitive mode where a fourth player can lead the Hispanic resistance.
