Coalemus is the god of foolishness, and some say his promotion to scion is his greatest prank of all - but on whom? Playable together or separately, the two halves of Aprilis and the Fool inject more variety and a bit of ancient levity into your copy of Hoplomachus: Victorum. —description from the publisher
