About This Game

Play as Pliny the Elder as he tries to rescue as many people as possible from the Vesuvius eruption of 79 AD, guiding the quadriremes of the Misenum fleet.

The game uses a standard deck of cards. After shuffling them, the player reveals cards, one at a time. Black cards affect the progression of the smoke and of the pyroclastic flow, while red cards allow the player to act (move the inhabitants of the zone, move the quadriremes, move Pliny's liburna).
