Conquest of the Empire

|
Conquest of the Empire is a board game created in 1984 by Milton Bradley. Part of the Gamemaster series, Conquest of the Empire is very similar to the popular Axis and Allies of the same series. That may be because it was designed by the same designer, Larry Harris. A military strategy game set in the Roman Empire after the death of Marcus Aurelius, 2 to 6 players pit their armies against each other in an attempt to become the ruler of Rome. This game is out of print and now very highly prized by collectors. Experienced game players feel that the catapult piece is too powerful and this fact hurts the game's playability. In the summer of 2005 Eagle Games is re-releasing an updated version of this game. The "Catapult" issue has be corrected.
