About the game
What you do in a play session
Hispania puts you in command of the Roman legions during the conquest of the Iberian Peninsula, a conflict that lasted nearly 200 years. 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. With modular expansions and historical scenarios, Hispania is a deep dive into Ancient Rome's military strategy, perfect for war game lovers with a taste for history.
