Populus Romanus — "the Roman people", the populus of SPQR itself — is a turn based wargame in the classic hex and counter tradition: each legion a counter on a hex map, where terrain, positioning and timing decide battles rather than reflexes. If you enjoy strategy board games or tabletop wargames, this is that experience, built for your phone, tablet or Chromebook.

Fight the great battles of the ancient empires as consul of Rome — from the walls of Veii to the armies of Carthage, with every centurion and legion under your command.

Play solo against a challenging AI, or pass and play in local hot-seat mode — a board game evening on a single device.

Raised on the great turn based strategy classics — the ones that kept you up promising yourself one more turn? This is a real game in that tradition: the Roman civilization against the powers of the ancient world, every decision yours, nothing standing between you and the next turn.

THE FULL GAME ADDS:
- Historical campaigns across the rise of the Roman Republic: expansion through central and southern Italy, wars against the Samnites, and the Punic Wars against Carthage
- Command the growing Roman empire scenario by scenario, with legions and auxiliary units
- Pay once, play forever: no ads, no in-app purchases, fully playable offline

Still to come: a new campaign following Hannibal himself, now in development.
