A game of intrigue and conquest. Technicalities kept to a minimum in order to lay greater stress on the diplomatic interplay between combatants. Each player takes the part of one of the emergent or declining nations in the Mediterranean during the last three centuries before Christ and your objective is to become the predominant power, using honest force of arms, augmented by threats, subterfuge, and general skull duggery.
