Sword of Rome is a card-driven board wargame focused on the period of 362-272 B.C. and the titanic struggle between Rome, Carthage and its enemies in the Gauls, Etruscans and Samnites. It uses the popular base system invented by Mark Herman and featured in Paths of Glory. This time, event cards and point-to-point maneuver enable up to four players to recreate the vicious struggles among the peoples of Italy and Sicily in the 3rd and 4th Centuries BC. Sword of Rome includes rules and events for city loyalty, Roman colonies, tribal raids, Gallic indiscipline, Greek siege craft, Indian war elephants, Roman and Macedonian-style infantry tactics, the mountain fastness of Samnium, and much, much more. The game covers over 100 years of classical history in just 9 hands of cards.
