	Description Edit \| History

In 64 A.D., a great fire originating from the slums of Rome quickly spreads to destroy much of the city, including the imperial palace. Upon hearing news of the fire, Emperor Nero Caesar races back to Rome from his private estate in Antium and sets up shelters for the displaced population.

Reporting directly to Nero, you are responsible for rebuilding the structures lost in the fire and restoring Glory to Rome.

Glory to Rome is a card-based city building and resource management game with a novel mechanism. Each card may act as a building, a patron, a raw material, or a valuable resource, frequently forcing players into difficult decisions regarding how each card should be used. In addition, much of the game is played from the discard pool, giving players some control over what cards are accessible to opponents.

Scoring is a combination of completing buildings and storing resources, with end-of-game bonuses for storing a diverse assortment. Game length is player-controlled, and is triggered in a few different ways.

The lighthearted artwork and slim rulebook belie the strong strategic and tactical elements of Glory to Rome.

Rules for "Decline & Fall: a Glory to Rome Fan Expansion"

Rules for Glory to Rome fan expansion "Decline & Fall". I reserve the right to modify and upload updates as this expansion is play-tested and tweaked. This expansion adds three new materials/roles, and up to 25 new buildings. As an added bonus, the BGG runners-up to the thread "Rome Demands Variant Cards!" is included. Add anywhere from 80 to 140 cards to the game depending on what you want to throw into the mix. Can be printed using exactly three 54-card ARTSCOW decks. Card template and art to follow, once my wife can carve out some time in her busy schedule to apply her fine arts talent.
