construction. Be a part of this historic event and finish the road that connects Rome and Brindisi. Prove your intuition in the quarry to get the best stones. Whoever builds the most valuable sections and reaches the different cities early will be victorious and the mosfamous builder in all of Rome.<\/p>\n<p>Rome needs a connection to Brundisium, and the players have been tasked with building the Via Appia in order to allow for fast travel between the two cities. To create the road, they\u2019ll need to break off stone tiles in the quarry, then travel to Brundisium, laying out the tiles and creating the path that all will follow in the years ahead. This travel costs sesterces, but will bring crucial victory points and glory from Rome in return.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1757 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/traversecityboardgamers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/via-appia-chute-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"334\" srcset=\"https:\/\/traversecityboardgamers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/via-appia-chute.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/traversecityboardgamers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/via-appia-chute-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/traversecityboardgamers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/via-appia-chute-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>My Take<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">A good gimmick is always a welcome at my table.\u00a0 Table presence and appeal is at a premium these days with a constant flood of the new games so these little touches get players fired up.\u00a0 Via Appia appears to have that in spades.<\/p>\n<p>Euro mechanics meets simple dexterity.
