Flow of history has a lot to love.
Glory to Rome is out of print. And it’s rare to find a copy for sale for less that $200. Which is a lot for a small card game. This one searches the itch but is also different enough to be its own thing. On first play it feels less swingy than GTR. I really started to see how it worked about 1/2 way through. And wished I’d done things very differently. My friend backed it on Kickstarter and now I’m wishing I had too. This needs multiple plays to be sure I love it. But I go to game night to try new things and this delivered. Kudos to the designers for trying to fill a void while still making a new game.

Final part in Ben Kane's Forgotten Legion trilogy, this follows the same format as the previous two books ('The Forgotten Legion' and 'The Silver Eagle') in following it's protaganist section about, ending each section on a cliffhanger.

Whereas before this could be slightly jarring (moving from Rome to, eg, Alexandria, and then back to Rome), it works slightly better in this novvel as some of the characters are working their way back to the seat of the Roman Republic eventually taking it section about within the environs of the city.

As the series has been working up to, the novel also culminates in the fateful Ides of March, with the infamous assissination of Julius Caesar in the forum by a disgruntled group of nobles.

The series as whole was readable enough, and while I may read a few more by this author, I doubt I'll be going out of my way to look for them.
