Description

Price of Failure expands the Hamilcar game with a new leader and two related strategy cards. In ancient times, wars had the status of religious acts. Omens and divine signs had great importance when going to war. The game designers featured this element by adding an authentic Roman leader - Claudius Pulcher (consul), who regrettably misunderstood an omen (sacred chickens which refused to eat) during the First Punic War and, as a consequence, lost a big portion of the Roman fleet at the battle of Drepana (249 BC). To properly reflect Claudius’ tragic disaster, two new strategy cards were also added - Bad Omen and Price of Failure (hence the name of the expansion).

This is not a stand alone game, required Hannibal & Hamilcar - Rome vs Carthage to play.
