CARPE DIEM OVERVIEW


Rome, 1 BC. As influential patricians – members of the founding families – you set out to improve your city district. Ensure your city’s prosperity with profitable buildings and beautiful landscapes.

As you improve your city district, embrace the concept of “carpe diem.” Seize the day by growing and harvesting various goods, then trade them in the forum for rewards. Build comfortable dwellings for your household to make them more diligent and productive. Enhance your own villa to gain prestige.

As you strategically build your city district and make wise trades in the forum, your accomplishments will be turned into victory points.

The player with the most victory points at the end of the game is the winner.

CARPE DIEM REVIEW


7.2 out of 10

Designer Stephan Feld has carved out this niche for making high-quality complex set collection games. You are putting together sets over time in a simple way but where it gets very layered and intense is in the depth in options. Carpe Diem is not the absolute best in his catalog but it is a ton of fun and does his style justice. You have so many different things you can build within your personal area and they all have countless configurations. There is much too do but not much space. The touches of drafting that drive decisions make the game interesting but are nothing ground breaking. Overall a solid choice, especially if you like other games from this designer.
