 Municipium[PSI VLY202] Various
Reiner Knizia's newest big box game, Municipium. This is classic Knizia at his finest!
A prime mechanism of Roman expansion and control in the provinces (and in Italy during the conquest of the peninsula c. 500 -- 265 BC) was the municipium (later the colonia), the premiere Roman provincial town. The game takes place in one of these municipalities.
Players are each in control of a powerful family and try to strategically place their family members in the various institutions throughout the municipium and gain the support of the citizens; Scholars, Merchants, Soldiers, Priests and possibly even the Praefect. At various times in the game, if a player has the most influence in an institution, the player can exert the power of that institution and gain the support of certain citizens. Meanwhile, the preafect moves around the municipium and players strive to have the most influence in the institution that he visits, thereby earning his favour. There are seven institutions; Temple, Baths, Emporium, Praetorium, Tavern, Basilica and Forum, each of which have their unique powers with which players must decide how and when to use in an attempt to become the most influential family in the municipium.
Complete artwork by Mike Doyle. This is a 3 -- 5 player game with a playing time of approximately 40 - 70 minutes.
Game Contents:
* 20" x 12" Game Board

 Nero[MFG PHA0066] Mayfair Games
It is 69 A.D., Nero, the last of the Julio-Claudian Roman Emperors, is dead. Especially in the latter years of his regime he acted as a true despot, even ordering the murder of his wife Octavia to be able to marry Poppaea Sabina. When Rome was burning in 64 A.D. he accused the Jews and the Christian population with the crime, starting the first persecution of these innocent people. Historically, four Roman generals vied for the throne following Nero's death. Galba, Otho, Vitellius, and Vespasian each became Casesar within the space of one year, only to lose their position as quickly as they had gained it.
In Nero: Legacy of a Despot, you are a contender for Imperial power. Using your legions and political influence, your aim is to either seize and hold the Imperium by being declared Emperor, or to gather enough land and power so that, at games end, you are in position to do so.
Nero: Legacy of a Despot is an exciting strategic boardgame full of opportunities. The overall strategy is to become Emperor, stay Emperor, conquer areas, and amass victory points. However, to do that, rather than take an extended overview and plan way ahead, the game requires players, instead, to react and act quickly, often making their own opportunities by playing the event cards sagaciously and timely. Event cards include Assassins, Bribery, Bad Augury, German Tribe Attacks, Galley Fleets, Crisis in Rome, the Praetorian Guard and many more!
Game Contents:
* Large gameboard of Europe and the Mediterranean area
* 162 Full Color Playing Counters
* 12 Full Color Cardboard Standup Leader Pieces
* 55 Playing Cards
* Two Player Aid Cards
