The same rules apply for the migration path of each tribe. A single city can be invaded by multiple tribes, such as Aquileia, which is threatened by both the Ostrogoths and the Visigoths. With pressure coming from all corners of the Empire, the many tribes advanced toward Rome through different paths, but often passed through the same cities. Even though Lugdunum was drawn, they haven't advanced that far, so instead they just start their path by invading Carnuntum. Here the Huns have yet to begin their march toward Rome. In this case, the Huns keep marching forward along their path and invade Mediolanum. The Huns are not present in the drawn city or the previous city, so we trace backwards on the path until we find a city that the barbarians can march into.
As a result, the Huns advance to Lugdunum. Here the Huns are not present in Lugdunum, but are present in Mediolanum, the previous city to Lugdunum on the Hun's migration path. Since the tribe already has a presence there, another cube is added. When checking Lugdunum, you see there are already two cubes in the city. Let's look at a couple situations of what would happen if the Hun Lugdunum card is drawn and how the barbarian movement is resolved for each scenario. Depending on the status of the pictured city, the barbarians could invade in different ways. When flipping a barbarian card, you will need to identify which tribe is moving and then check the pictured city. This barbarian card shows that it is the Huns (green) advancing and they are moving toward Lugdunum. Since, realistically, troops traveling across the Empire couldn't just pop into a distant city, this new mechanic models how they were forced to steadily march across the land to reach their destination. Paolo and Matt put their heads together to develop a clever new movement system that imitates the real paths a tribe would have undertaken. However, unlike regular Pandemic, a cube is not just automatically placed in the city on the card. The card will illustrate which tribe is marching toward which city.
Marching to RomeĪt the end of each player’s turn, cards from the barbarian deck are drawn. Now you must rally the Roman legions and work with your fellow citizens to stop the invading hordes from spreading to the capital and sacking the city. Many of the neighboring people began to push against the Roman borders, and in Fall of Rome the many invaders have been distilled into five general groups: Anglo-Saxons & Franks, Vandals, Huns, Visigoths, and Ostrogoths.ĭetermined to fight back against the Empire, the tribes gathered their forces to march toward Rome. Over centuries the Roman Empire expanded far and wide, creating a massive geographical footprint. Today we’ll discuss the invading tribes and how they travel across the map. In Fall of Rome you must protect the Empire from these invading forces.Īs has been done with the previous titles in the Survival series, Pandemic: Fall of Rome alters several aspects of Pandemic's gameplay, adapting the tried-and-true mechanics to create a richly thematic experience. The Roman Empire spread across the globe for many years, but various factors challenged its survival: economic downturn, political struggle, and invading forces eventually led to its demise. This year, Matt Leacock joined forces with Paolo Mori to create a game inspired Italy's rich history. For each Survival game, Matt Leacock partners with a native designer from the host country. This year the world championship is being held in Lucca, Italy, at the famous Lucca Comics & Games event in early November. Pandemic: Fall of Rome is the third title in the Survival series, following Iberia and Rising Tide. For those of you unfamiliar with Pandemic Survival, it's the world's first tournament format for a cooperative game that debuted back at Essen SPIEL 2015 and has been going strong ever since. Games in the Survival series celebrate the people, culture, and heritage of the host country where the World Championship is held.
