Nero "Legacy of a Despot"
Design: Alexander S. Berg. Graphics: Franz Vohwinkel
3-4 Players - Game time 90-120 Min. - Ages 12+
It is 69 A.D., Nero, the last of the Julio-Claudian Roman Emperors,
is dead. Especially in the latter years of his regime he acted as
a true despot, even ordering the murder of his wife Octavia to be
able to marry Poppaea Sabina. When Rome was burning in 64 A.D. he
acccused the Jews and the Christian population with the crime, starting
the first persecution of these innocent people. In the space of one
year, Galba, Otho, Vitellius, and Vespasian, four Roman generals vied
for the throne, three of them gaining their objective only to lose
it as quickly as they had gained it.
In Nero: Legacy of a Despot, you are a contender for Imperial power.
Using your legions and political influence, your aim is to either
seize and hold the Imperium by being declared Emperor, or to gather
enough land and power so that, at game’s end, you are in position
to do so.
Nero: Legacy of a Despot is an exciting strategic boardgame full of
opportunities. The overall strategy is to become Emperor, stay Emperor,
conquer areas, and amass victory points. However, to do that, rather
than take an extended overview and plan way ahead, the game requires
players, instead, to react and act quickly, often making their own
opportunities by playing the event cards sagaciously and timely.
Event cards include Assassins, Bribery, Bad Augury, German Tribe Attacks,
Galley Fleets, Crisis in Rome, the Praetorian Guard and many more! |

Nero: Legacy of a Despot includes one large gameboard of Europe
and the Mediterranean area, 162 full color playing pieces, 12 full

The game does not contain any dice – movement, combat
and events are all covered by the deck of playing cards! |
