Raise armies; defend your cities; and forge alliances to ward off relentless incursions. Can you stop the fall of the world's greatest Empire?
At the height of its power; the Roman Empire held more than two million square miles of territory containing over a hundred million people. Throughout the centuries of its existence; the Empire brought major advancements in engineering; architecture; science; art; and literature. By the beginning of the 5th Century; decades of political corruption; economic crisis; and an overburdened military had exacted a severe toll on the stability of the Empire. This paved the way for severe incursions from aggressive barbarian tribes; leading to a decline from which Rome would not recover. Now citizens; soldiers; and allies of Rome must unite to protect the Empire.
Combining the cooperative gameplay of Pandemic with innovative new mechanics; Pandemic: Fall of Rome takes players back in history to the time of the world’s greatest empire: Rome.

As you march through the Roman Empire; you must recruit armies; fortify cities; forge alliances; and face off against the invading hordes in battle. Take on unique roles with special abilities to improve your team’s chances to protect against the invaders. Work together; use your skills wisely; and stop the fall of Rome!
