About the game

What you do in a play session

Ever had those moments where you want to play a game but don't have the time or the table space? Micro Rome is your go-to solution for a quick-fix-empire-building experience. Your mission is to build up the city and populate it with cards, aiming to hit at least 45 points before the Colosseum is completed.

The gameplay revolves around clever set collection and tableau-building. You'll be-adding cards to your personal-style-board to score points, but there's a catch that keeps you on your toes: the Barbarians. If you ignore the-threat of barbarian invasions while focusing solely on your architecture, they will strike and strip you of your hard-earned points. It's a delicate dance between expanding your-city and keeping the-invaders at bay.

Since this is a Print & Play title, it's incredibly accessible. You just print it, cut it out, and you're ready to rule the world (or at least a tiny corner of it). It's perfect for players who enjoy tight-mechanic-driven-card-games that offer a satisfying-puzzle-without the-heavy-setup. If you love the Roman aesthetic and the thrill of optimizing your-moves, Micro Rome will definitely earn a spot in your rotation!
