About the game
In Dominus, players will be fighting for control of the Europe and North African territories. To do this, players will be able to either use the military symbols combination or the prestige symbol combination. Players will do this until the end of the game, and the player with the majority of armies in a territory, will win the first place in that territory and score most for whatever the condition is in that territory. We should also note that this board replaces the military board in the base game. In Portus, your neighborhoods will be able to craft goods which you can then export from your port! Once you think you have enough goods for export, you can simply turn over those goods to the supply and score prestige depending on what types of goods you have exported! Sometimes, some goods will cost you population, so you need to plan carefully for such occasion.

Magna Roma: Dominus supports 2–4 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Magna Roma: Dominus is 30–90 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Magna Roma: Dominus for ages 12 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Magna Roma: Dominus has a complexity rating of 2.0 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a medium-light game.
