Atrium

In 476, the Germanic tribes’ invasion of Rome is unavoidable as the Western Roman Empire falls into decline. The Patricians have fled, and for a brief moment, silence settles over the ATRIUM—the room once used for gathering and feasting, now specially designed for a strategy game.

The Western Roman Empire is in decline. The Patricians have fled, and for a brief moment, silence falls over the Atrium. This grand hall, once used for gathering and feasting, was specially designed to host a strategy game. Inspired by the construction of the Theodosian Walls, the game features cities that resemble the fortified castles of later Europe. Set in the tense moment just before the sack of Rome, in this symbolic place, the Middle Ages begin. Your goal is to control the greatest empire. Build castles, establish trade routes, and expand your influence-or steal the results of other players’ hard work. This builder placement game lets you develop and evolve your builders over time. Choose your approach using 8 different builder classes. Raise a powerful army, train mages, or outsmart rivals with cunning to claim victory. Multiplayer supports up to 4 players on the same computer.
