Saga: Age of Hannibal is an expansion for SAGA Rulebook (2nd Edition) released in 2020 for 2–6 players and ages 12 and up. Its main mechanics are Dice Rolling, Die Icon Resolution, and Deck, Bag, and Pool Building.
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
Saga: Age of Hannibal supports 2–6 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 catalogue lists Saga: Age of Hannibal 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.
Saga: Age of Hannibal belongs to these categories: Expansion for Base-game. Its main mechanics are Dice Rolling, Die Icon Resolution, and Deck, Bag, and Pool Building.

The catalogue lists Saga: Age of Hannibal as an expansion for SAGA Rulebook (2nd Edition).
