What Is Caesar?
Do you smell the laurels? Reiner Knizia invites you on a journey into the world of ancient Rome with his game "CAESAR", where you'll engage in a fierce competition with your rivals down to the last dice roll to finally fulfill the dream of every Roman citizen: to become Consul! As Consul, your rivals will pay tribute to you, but here's the twist: they're eyeing your seat too. They yearn to claim the title of Consul and will stop at nothing to overthrow you.
For the perfect gaming experience, gather 2-6 players each at least 8 years old. In 15-30 minutes, you'll vie for coins and influence over five rounds. Grab your smartphone and the unidice to embark on your Roman adventure and shake up local politics with strategic dice rolls. Ideal for enthusiasts of the "Push your luck!" genre. Get ready for gripping power struggles and challenge your luck until the final dice roll. Until it finally says: Alea iacta est!
How To Play Caesar?
So, you dream of sitting in the consulate and dipping your finger into the sweet, sweet honey pot of power plays? Well, as a Roman everyman, you'll need to strategize a bit and hope that the gods are on your side. Fortunately, Reiner Knizia has created a handy guide for you, allowing you to finally put your plan into action with our tool, the unidice. Enter CAESAR.
The game CAESAR consists of 5 rounds, during which players take turns rolling the unidice, simulating 5 dice simultaneously. Each die features numbers 1-4 and symbols of a senator and a sword. Depending on what you roll and in what combination, you'll earn more or fewer points, support, or coins, allowing you to plan your next moves eagerly with each roll of the unidice. For example, you might see the following displayed on the 5 screens (one die on top and on each side):
3, 3, 1, senator, senator
You'd tally this up as follows: 3+3+1 = 7
But that's not the final result. Each senator multiplies the total points rolled, determining your overall score for the round, so: 7*2 = 14
And yes, if no senators are displayed, your total score is also 0. Lots of math, huh? If you're feeling overwhelmed, don't worry, the app calculates all of this for you!
Win a round, and you'll receive a lovely silver coin. But beware, because in the final round, everyone can even snag a gold coin, which can really shake up the hierarchy at the table. Suddenly, an unassuming competitor who was less fortunate in the game may have a chance to turn the tide.
So in a nutshell, the unidice simulates 5 dice for you simultaneously on each player's turn, displayed on the screens above and on the sides. During your turn, you can reroll up to three times. After each roll, you can secure the die faces that help your strategy by double-tapping or unlocking them to maybe get something better. All in the ever-exciting "Push your luck!" manner, where you must decide whether to take a risk and roll again or stick with your current result.
Roll your way to the top and become Consul! Grab the CAESAR app, the Unidice, and a few friends and dive into the world of ancient Rome. Vale aleator! Te videbo!
Become the Consul
Keep the top rank and have your rivals pay tribute (bronze coins) by becoming consul, helping you maintain your lead over the competition. The position of consul can easily change throughout the game though so watch your back.
Act wisely and be cautious. For these are the virtues that will lead you to victory in CAESAR. Try to overthrow the ruling Consul by bringing your weapons to bear helping to turn the tide in your mission and steal the final victory from your opponents.
May the gods be with you!
