Overview
Mare Nostrum is an empire-building game for 3-5 players (or 2-6 with the ‘Atlas’ expansion) where you lead an ancient empire to dominate the Mediterranean, known as “mare nostrum” by the Romans. Expand your influence by acquiring new Provinces, extending Trade Caravans, building Markets, and founding Cities and Temples. Recruit Heroes and create Wonders to aid your cause, but beware of envious rivals. This updated edition by Academy Games and Asyncron includes new components and multiple ways to win. Choose to lead with historical figures like Caesar of Rome, Pericles of Greece, Hammurabi of Babylon, Cleopatra of Egypt, or Hannibal of Carthage. Grow your empire through Trade, Culture, Military might, or Political Leadership.
