Rome & Roll: Character Expansion

About this expansion

Rome & Roll: Character Expansion is an expansion for 1–4 players that adds three extra characters to the 2020 game, with a listed play time of 90 minutes.

Created during the Kickstarter campaign and sold separately afterward, this expansion introduces Pontifex, Nobilis, and Artifitrix. Each character provides a different starting advantage, giving the expansion a clear point of distinction between its available options.

The characters also differ in the advisors associated with them. Every character has a personal set of three advisors, so the choice between Pontifex, Nobilis, and Artifitrix is defined by both the character’s starting advantage and their advisor set.

• Pontifex — one of the three additional characters
• Nobilis — one of the three additional characters
• Artifitrix — one of the three additional characters
• Each character has a different starting advantage
• Each character has a set of three advisors

Rome & Roll: Character Expansion is intended for players looking to use these three Kickstarter-created characters as separately sold additions. Its compact scope keeps the focus on character variety, with the starting advantages and advisor sets providing the key differences among the options.

For groups of 1–4 players and a game listed at 90 minutes, this 2020 expansion offers a straightforward way to add Pontifex, Nobilis, and Artifitrix to the character pool. Select the character whose starting advantage and three-advisor set best suit the option you want to use.
