Gloria Mundi

Gloria Mundi – Review

Check out this Gloria Mundi review. It’s published by Rio Grande Games and it is an interesting game for 2-6 players.

At heart Gloria Mundi is an abstract race game although it is nicely themed. Players represent Roman citizens who see a huge Goth army emerging in the north and decide to flee to Africa (Carthage to be precise) before the barbarian hoards reach Rome.

List Price: $ 44.99

Value: $ 9.99

Gloria Mundi

The board is made up of a track towards Rome for the Goth to move down and a track from Rome for your citizen figure to move towards Carthage. The game turns are pretty simple.

- add a new building card to those available for purchase
- play a production card (farms – green; cities – yellow; legions – white)
- activate all cards of the type just played (not just yours, but everyone round the table)
- purchase a building card if you wish
- pay tribute to or move the Goth.

The game ends when

  • The Goth arrives at Rome
  • A player reaches Carthage
  • All production cards have been played
  • All the building cards have appeared

The pace and style of the game will depend which one actually triggers it.
