Rise of Augustus

Compete with other players to earn the favor of the first Roman emperor by completing objective cards for powers and victory points. Each objective shows 2–6 symbols that must be covered with legionnaire meeples; symbols are revealed one at a time by drawing from a shared bag, so all players benefit from each draw but symbol frequencies vary. Players start by choosing three objectives from a dealt hand and replace completed objectives by selecting from a pool of five, balancing difficulty against reward. The game ends when a player completes seven objectives.

    Set collector with a Bingo mechanic that's pretty original. It's a great game for people to introduce board games because it's so easy to learn but it has some decisions too.
