Micro Rome

About this board game

Micro Rome is a solo board game for 1 player, with a playing time of about 30 minutes. Released in 2023, it challenges you to build Rome, populate the city, and achieve a score of 45 points or more by the time the Colosseum is built.

The game centers on playing cards and adding them to your tableau. As your city grows, you create sets that add to your score, turning each card placement into part of your effort to develop Rome and reach the target.

However, Rome faces a threat from the Barbarians. If they are left unchecked, they will cost you points, making it important to keep their impact in mind while you work toward your final score.

• Solo play for one player
• Approximately 30 minutes of play time
• Card-based tableau building and set creation
• A target of 45 points or more before the Colosseum is built

Success in Micro Rome depends on building a tableau that supports your scoring goals while dealing with the point loss caused by the Barbarians. Every card contributes to the developing city, whether it helps create a set or forms part of your wider route to 45 points.

With its focused solo format and clear objective, Micro Rome presents a compact challenge built around cards, sets, city building, and score management. Build Rome, populate the city, control the Barbarian threat, and aim to complete your task before the Colosseum is built.
