The Wars of Marcus Aurelius: Rome 170-180CE is a solitaire only game that uses cards similarly to a CDG to simulate the strategic level struggle of the Romans led by Marcus Aurelius to stave off the invasions of Germanic tribes and Sarmatian raiders as they encroach on Roman territory across the Danube River.
Here are links to a series of Action Point posts on the various aspects of the game:
Action Point 2 – The Barbarian Deck
Action Point 3 – The Roman Deck
Action Point 5 – Strategy Guide and Lessons Learned
If you like a good solitaire game, with great components, that plays in about an hour and is very challenging (code for hard to win), then this one is for you. I fully endorse this game and give it my highest marks for a solo experience.

Grant…good review but don’t let yourself all into the PC trap…”CE” is a term made up by academics that fly’s in the face of almost 2,000 years of Western tradition…”AD” is the proper term.
