About the game

SAGA - Age of Hannibal is a Saga supplement that covers the three Punic Wars between Rome and Carthage that took place between 264 and 146 BC. This Universe includes six factions - some of which include multiple variants - each with its own Battle Board, history, Legendary Units, and special rules. As well as these factions, you will find an array of mercenaries who can join your warband, as well as a system of Ruses which allow you to personalise your warband by granting specific advantages or chances to deal treacherous low blows to your enemies. Finally, the supplement ends with Epic Saga, an entirely new way of playing Saga that allows you to play games with warbands of 12 to 18 points on each side. Now you can recreate the greatest battles of antiquity on your table! This game mode includes special rules and a unique method of setting up the game. —description from the publisher
