Rival Roman architects compete to claim prime city land and erect the most glorious buildings for fame and fortune. ()

Gameplay

To earn the most Glory, you’re juggling tempo vs position: buying deeds for future buildings versus immediately dropping buildings for income or VP before the next era scoring flips. Every “good” move improves your board while simultaneously opening or closing lines for big upgrades, adjacency plays, and hate-drafts against your neighbors.
