Asterix: Caesar's Empire (Board Game)

Caesar’s Empire is a 2–5 player game about building roads for the gloryof Rome! Caesar’s Empire is set in the world of the beloved comic series –Asterix. However, instead of playing as one of the indomitable Gauls, this timearound, you’ll be siding with the great Julius Caesar! As a member of hisentourage, you’ve been tasked with expanding the limits of his empire.

The one who brings the most glory to Rome will be richly rewarded!

In Caesar’s Empire, you will be building Roads to connect Rome to newCities across the board. Each time you build a Road, you score points. Every newCity you reach will provide City and Treasure tokens that will be worth pointsat the end of the game. The game ends when Rome is connected to every City onthe board. After adding the value of City and Treasure tokens to the pointsscored during the game, the player with the most points wins!

Caesar’s Empire uses a simple network-building mechanic. Each time youbuild a Road, you must connect Rome to a new City by placing one or more of yourRoad pieces onto the game board. You may build your Road anywhere you like onthe board, as long as you start from either Rome, or a City whose token hasalready been taken. This means you may be continuing a Road started by anotherplayer!

When you reach a City, you get to take its token, which can be worth pointsat the end of the game. Each City also provides a Treasure token. Treasures youfind are added to your player board and will score you points at the end of thegame, especially if you manage to make collections!

Once you’ve taken your City token and your Treasure, you score your routeback to Rome. Each section of Road included in your route will score 1 pointfor the player it belongs to. As your route can include sections of Road placedby other players, you can end up giving points to your opponents!

The game continues until all of the Cities on the board have been taken. Oncethe final City has been taken, players move on to final scoring.

At the end of the game, you’ll score points based on your City tokens. EachCity has a value, which is the number on the back. This is the number of pointsyou’ll score for that City. However, if you have more than one City token ofthe same colour, you will only score points for the one of the highest value.You then score the value of the different collections of Treasure on your playerboard. Collections can be of the same Treasure or different Treasures, and Goldis scored separately.

The player with the most points returns to Rome to be showered with fortuneand glory by Caesar himself!
