It is 100 AD and the Celtic nation of Armorica (Brittany) has been conquered by the
Roman Empire. Now, the administrators of Armorica try to increase their prestige by
attracting wealthy Romans immigrants. However, Roman Patricians have expensive tastes, and
it will take a lot of development to make a barbaric province like Armorica appealing.
Armorica is a challenging card-drafting game, in which players must anticipate the
likely choices of their opponents in order to win. Each turn, players select cards from
face up displays and add them to their personal tableaux. Icons in players' personal tableaux
increase the range of cards from which they can select, allow them to retain more cards in
their tableaux, and provide different sources of victory points.
