Description Edit | History

The Republic of Rome is an abstraction of over 250 years of history. It simulates the politics of the Roman Senate during the republic. The players take the part of various factions vying for the control of the senate. They control the various powerful families of the time, who compete for state offices, military command, economic concessions and new adherents. To win the player must get their faction to become the most powerful in Rome. While doing this, however, a balance must be maintained. A hostile world situation, and the vagaries of the public of Rome means that the players must also cooperate so that Rome herself doesn't go down under this pressure. If Rome does not last, neither does the senate, and all players lose!

The Republic of Rome is #3 in the Valley Games Classic Line

9 Outline and Reference for Valley Games Republic of Rome
This pdf contains a three page reference of basic concepts, Senate procedures, and Assassinations. It is not a complete teaching aid, but is useful in teaching the game and as a player reference. This pdf also contains four pages of very detailed outline for the phases of a turn. It is intended to be complete and correct in that players should be able to follow each item in order and not miss anything. All the rules including the advanced rules should be covered. However, our group hasn't dealt with a rebellion yet so the rules regarding provincial forces and rebellions have not been tested by fire. I also lack daily access to a Valley Games edition, so it is quite possible that rules that only appear on the cards are in error. Gratitude is owed to the numerous posts to...
