Three in one game based on the last Days of Pompeii. In part one you'll have to buy real state and people who gone stay in the houses, shops and temples of the town. In the second part you move around town visiting people or the baths, go shopping, everything a normal roman citizen would do until... ULTIMA DEI! Mount Vesuvius erupts, slowly covering the town with hot lava. Your job is to get your people safely out of your property and out of the town before the burn to a crisp. magistrates are worth more than slaves. The player who safes the most people and survives the volcano himself, wins. Rules in German, cards in English, French, German, Dutch, Spanish and Italian
