	Description Edit \| History

Julius Caesar is a two-player game, depicting the later Roman civil wars (49-45 BC). The forces of Caesar are pitted against those of Pompey.

From the publisher:
Julius Caesar brings the drama of the Roman Civil War to life. Players take control of the legions of Caesar or Pompey and fight to rule Rome as Emperor.

From the Designer:

Julius Caesar is a card driven block game. You use cards to Move, levy or play an Event. 13 victory point Towns or Cities are depicted on the 17"x 34" (43 x 86 cm) game board of the Mediterranean. Take command of Caesar's Veteran Legions or Pompey sprouting Young Legions around the Mediterranean. You decide how best to defend or conquer the Republic. With endless possibilities at your disposal this game will keep your adrenaline pumping. The only question I have for you, the game player, is, are you ready to prove that you deserve to be Emperor of the Rome? Come prove it on the game board!

Recruitment Town List

Many times in "Julius Caesar" you may want to find a town where you can recruit your units with out revealing to your opponent where 'you are looking on the board'. This is especially so for the side taking Julius Caesar's forces who see the board upside down. Attached is the recruitment city list by side so you can find quickly where a recruitment town is and where it is located. Not all of us know the geography of the world as it was 2000 years ago so this list should help.

Quick Reference Sheet

Thirdfloorgamers.com has created this quick reference sheet to help people who are learning the game. It includes 98% of the rules. I would take a look at the move section of your book as I could not fit all the exceptions in there. I think it's one of our best QR sheets. Let us know how you like it. Take care, Michael
