About the game

What you do in a play session

The 'Tribune Expansion' adds a new family, the Bruti, to shake things up in the ancient Rome setting of the base game 'Tribune: Primus Inter Pares'. These ancient patricians, hailing from a subjugated tribe, aren't afraid to enter the power struggle, operating from the shadows and having no qualms about claiming what they believe is theirs. If you enjoy the political and resource management aspects of 'Tribune', this addition brings another layer of intrigue and competition, boosting replayability and strategic complexity. Get ready for new disputes and alliances as the Bruti arrive to disrupt the balance of power in Rome. The expansion integrates well with the main game, offering more options and challenges for players who have already mastered the original mechanics. It's the kind of content that makes you want to return to the table to test new tactics and see how this new faction affects the dynamics between the families. For those who are already fans of 'Tribune' and are looking for more depth and variety, this expansion is a perfect fit to explore the complexities of Roman politics.
