About the Game

Burning Rome is a quick tactical card game about leading your ancient armies to victory over your enemies.

Deck-construction - Build an army from a roster of 54 different units, generals, tactics and auxiliaries. Tactical card placement - Deploy your units on the battlefield to maximize their damage and defenses. Special abilities - Use tactics and unit abilities to manipulate your deck, stats and mechanics.

Can you neutralize the enemy's war elephants? Do you prefer slow advance in all columns or will you imitate Hannibal's outflanking maneuvers? These choice are just the beginning - as your armies' strengths and weaknesses are tested in combat.

Game modes:

Ancient battles - Put yourself in the shoes of history's greatest generals in some of the most iconic battles of the ancient world. Quick battles - Master your deck-construction skills and fight short intense battles with other players using any faction at your disposal.)
