About the game

What is Roll Through the Ages: The Iron Age?

Roll Through the Ages: The Iron Age, a sequel to the highly-awarded Roll Through the Ages: The Bronze Age, lets you build an Iron Age civilization in under an hour! Do you build provinces, raise armies, and conquer barbarians or build ports and ships to gain trade goods? Explore the strategies of Greece, Phoenicia, and Rome as you erect monuments, fend off disasters, and strive to feed your people. Roll Through the Ages: The Iron Age gives players different ways to build their empires: the Trade and Naval strategies of the Phoenicians, the conquests of Alexander the Great, and the engineering prowess and gradual absorption of new provinces by the Roman Republic. Grab those dice — including the Fate die — and prepare to build the greatest empire as you continue to roll through the ages! Roll Through the Ages: The Iron Age games that include the Mediterranean Expansion have their own game entry at Roll Through the Ages: The Iron Age with Mediterranean Expansion.
