Arena: Roma II

Two-player card game set during a Roman power struggle where players compete to become the dominant ruler. Players draft and play character and building cards to strengthen their position, generate victory points, and disrupt the opponent. Each turn involves playing cards for effects, resolving arena conflicts and siege tools like ballistae, and managing a personal deck and discard pile. Multiple modules allow solo use or integration with the earlier Roma set: combine all cards, split sets between players, or construct 55-card decks for each player to expand options and replayability.
