The year is 425 AD. The Roman Empire, once the world's greatest superpower, is crumbling under relentless barbarian invasions, internal strife, and dwindling resources. As Emperor, the weight of civilization rests squarely on your shoulders. Can you hold the empire together, or will Rome be overrun?
In Rome Must Fall, every roll of the dice determines the fate of your empire. You'll allocate your precious resources to defend six key regions: Gaul, Hispania, Illyria, Africa, Italia, and the vital Mediterranean sea lanes. Each turn, you must carefully decide where to send your Imperial dice to stop the advance of marauding barbarian tribes, from the fearsome Visigoths and Vandals to the Huns and Franks.
This solitaire Roll & Write wargame challenges you with tough decisions each round. The barbarians will never stop advancing, and your resources will never be enough to defend everywhere at once. You’ll need to manage your defenses, rally your legions, and fortify your most critical regions to stand any chance of survival.
With fast-paced dice allocation, escalating threats, and constant pressure, every decision could mean the difference between holding back the tide or watching your empire collapse. Will you safeguard the Eternal City, or will history witness Rome's final days?
