Lake Trasimene belongs to these categories: Wargame, Ancient, and Expansion for Base-game. Its main mechanics are Dice Rolling and Hexagon Grid. Categories describe the theme and setting of a game, while mechanics describe what players actually do on their turns. Each mechanic links to a catalogue hub with similar games, which helps when you want something comparable.
The credited designers of Lake Trasimene are: Gian Carlo Ceccoli. These credits come from the published game data and name the people responsible for the game’s design, not its illustrators or publishers. Designer pages on MeepleRules collect other titles by the same designers, which helps when you enjoy a game and want to find similar ones.
The catalogue lists Lake Trasimene as an expansion for Simple GBoH. Expansions add new content, rules or scenarios to the base game and usually cannot be played on their own, so you need Simple GBoH to use it. Check that your edition of Simple GBoH is compatible, as some expansions were revised between editions.
