BIRTH OF THE ROMAN REPUBLIC
Prequel expansion for The Republic of Rome™
By Roberto A. Ullfig

Introduction
Now you can relive the period from the expulsion of Tarquinius Superbus, the last Roman king, and the establishment of the Republic through all the politics, conflicts and intrigue that made Rome what it was when it first faced Hamilcar in the First Punic War.

Includes
  • 36 Republic of Rome™-sized cards
  • 16 one inch tiles
  •   8-page rules booklet

    Here are just a few of the intriguing characters and settings:
  • Revolts of the Plebeians
  • The historic Sack of Rome
  • The devious Spurius Maelius
  • The honorable Cincinnatus, later model for Washington
  • The vengeful king, Tarquinius Superbus
  • Coriolanus, of Shakespeare fame
  • Regulus, the second Founder of Rome
  • Pyrrhus and the Pyrrhic War
  • Spurius Cassius Viscellinus, originator of the Land Bill
  • and more!

    Also includes extensive historical background notes.

    Not only fun in its own right, play it to reach a different and more organic beginning for your Republic of Rome™ matches!

    Note: requires The Republic of Rome™ to play. The game does not use any artwork from the existing game, which means the card backs are different. However, there are enough new card backs that it is impossible to thereby tell exactly which card a player draws or holds.
