Passport Game Studios Trajan Strategy & War Board Game

Set in ancient Rome, Trajan is a development game in which players try to increase their influence and power in various areas of Roman life such as political influence, trading, military dominion and other important parts of Roman culture. The central mechanism of the game uses a system similar to that in Mancala or pit-and-pebbles games. In Trajan, a player has six possible actions: building, trading, taking tiles from the forum, using the military, influencing the Senate and placing Trajan tiles on his tableau. This is a Euro-style strategy game and playing time is 30 minutes per player.
