Blocks!: Julius Caesar

About the game

A closer look.

Blocks!: Julius Caesar is a local and online two-player wargame that brings the drama of the Roman Civil War (49-45 BC) to life. The two players take control of the legions of Caesar or Pompey and fight to determine the future of Rome: Republic or Empire. Famous characters like Marc Antony, Cleopatra, Octavian, Scipio and Brutus all also play key roles, along with legions, cavalry, elephants, ballistas, auxilia troops and galley ships. The victor will become the sole Master of Rome! The map board depicts the major theaters of operations during the Roman Civil War, i.e the Mediterranean sea and surrounding areas, from Spain to the Middle East. The object of play is to seize as many as possible of the Victory Points cities on the map. Major cities Rome and Alexandria are worth 2 VPs, the other eleven cities are each worth 1 VP. Killing the three enemy's leaders also bring 1 VP for each. The first player at 10 VP wins the game. Will you become the Master of Rome, like Caesar, or will you perish, as Pompey did historically? A game can be played against the Artificial Intelligence and in 2-player local Hotseat or online Multiplayer (NEW!) with your friends and fellow players on Steam.
