Armorica is a card game designed by Eric Vogel, and published in June 2010 by Vainglorious Games in English. Players in Armorica are administrators in the ancient land of Armorica who are trying to convince wealthy Romans to support them and give them prestige.[1] [2] [3]
Gameplay
There are two decks of cards, the Gauls and the Romans. Some of the deck is flipped up for players to choose from.
Every player starts with a card and then play proceeds clockwise with players taking a Gaul card and placing it in front of them. Players compete for special Roman cards. The goal is to build sets of diverse colors. The larger a player's sets, the greater their prestige.{{vague|date=August 2017|reason=sounds like either unexplained in-game concept,or ref to real-world gamer sociology; either leaves us with dubious basis for comprehension.
Play ends when the either of the decks are exhausted.
