Battleground Historical Warfare: Second Punic War 218-201 BC (2009)

About this game

The newest expansion for Battleground Historical Warfare which features the armies of Rome and Carthage. Two centuries before the birth of Christ, the greatest general of his day led a small army over the Alps and nearly broke the power of Rome. Now you can recreate Hannibal's triumphs at Cannae and Trasimene, or reenact his defeat by Scipio Africanus at the battle of Zama.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Strictly 2 players — no more, no fewer.
• Rules load. At 2.4/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 12 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
