Downfall of Pompeii

Downfall of Pompeii box cover art with people running on a broken stone street bettween buildings and an active volcano in the distance.The rich, beautiful Roman city of Pompeii sits at the foot of majestic Mount Vesuvius. Renowned for exotic, easy and ample luxury, the wealthy town attracts the best of Rome's proud citizens. But a terrible secret lies deep beneath the slopes of the mighty mountain. The mountain, so very long asleep, is finally reawakening. Come to beautiful Pompeii. Use your cards to attract your Roman friends and relatives to visit select sites. But beware. The dreaded Vesuvius card means the mountain is awake, spewing fiery lava onto the unsuspecting city. Now you must struggle to get your compatriots out of the doomed town before they are engulfed. Rushing to avoid lava flows, your people must flee before Vesuvius explodes and ash seals their fate. Lead the most survivors to safety and you win.

The chart indicating Downfall of Pompeii requires 2 to 4 players and recommends a party of 4, plays in 45 minuets, features an ancient theme, and offers events, grid movement, hand movement, and tile placement mechanics.
