Solitaire Caesar

About this board game

Solitaire Caesar is a province-based solitaire wargame for one player, designed to take approximately 60 minutes to play. It recreates the rise and fall of the Roman Empire across an immense historical span, from 300 BC to 1453 AD.

Your role begins with leading the legions of Rome toward victory. The game then shifts in focus as you struggle to preserve the legacy of Empire against barbarian onslaughts, capturing both the expansion of Roman power and the pressures that threaten its survival.

Its province-based structure gives the game a clear geographical foundation. Rather than presenting the Roman Empire as a single undivided space, Solitaire Caesar frames its solitaire wargame experience around provinces as Rome rises, reaches victory, and faces the challenges of decline.
