Description Edit | History

In ripis Rubiconis passus militis bellum civile fert et movet cursum eventorum e quibus imperator surget. Quomodo dominabis proelia quae in agro, in senatu, et per vias Romae accident?

On the banks of the Rubicon a legionnaire’s footstep brings Civil War and sets upon a course of events from which an emperor will emerge. How will you master the battles that are to come on the field, in the senate and through the streets of Rome?

Triumvirate is a fast paced game for two that requires subtle hand management and card play to win consistently. The mechanisms in the core rules make for a very satisfying, imperfect information player trick taking game. In addition to the core game there is a drafting variant that removes randomness from play beyond the initial card deal. I have included both variants in the rule set as I found players to have a preference for either one or the other style of play.

The game is meaty enough to be a good "filler" for gamers, but subtle enough to be enjoyed by significant others.

The game is currently available in Classical Latin, English, German, French, Catalan, Polish, Spanish and Dutch.

13 Method to create balanced & interesting hands
This is the designer's suggested approach to distribution cards for the first few games. This helps to ensure that the game is "interesting" - that is at once balanced and yet unbalanced, and comes from experience of well over 100 plays.
