Carthage's main scenario is, of course, the 1st Punic War, a 20-year affair that will take some time to play but keep you entranced for years. However, we have also included short, one-evening scenarios, including the play tester one-turn favorite "Hiero; Hero or Gyro?", the twisty opening year of the 1st Punic War. We also have short scenarios for Regulus's invasion of Carthage during the 1st Punic War, the infamous Mercenary War that erupted in Carthage right after the war, and the first invasion of Carthage itself in 311 BC, by the infamous Tyrant of Syracuse, Agathocles.
Carthage contains one full-sized map: the slightly redone Italy map (we've expanded rivers to a three-tiered system and corrected some tangential map errata), plus a half map for Carthage/Africa. The 980 counters include every Roman magistrate of the era plus lots of Libyans, Numidians, Iberians, Celts... if they were there, they're here. Also part of the package is an expanded group of play-aid charts, prompted by playtester insistence, to help keep track of the many details that campaigning can require.
