It’s the year 122 CE and the Roman Empire is at the peak of its glory. Caesar Hadrian is no longer waging war against the barbarians, but building cities and fortifications to ensure a lengthy domination of the Roman culture and wealth. The southern part of Britain is under Roman domination and Caesar has already begun the construction of Hadrian’s Wall to protect the empire from invasions from the North. Together with the wall Caesar has ordered the founding of a new city which will remind the locals of the glory of Rome. He has appointed five of his most trusted men to take resources and workers from Rome and to build the city together – but in the end only one of them will be appointed Praetor and rule the Province in the name of Caesar. In Praetor you will take the role of a Roman engineer and you will work together with the other players to build a magnificent city. You will manage your limited resources wisely and look for new ones, you will recruit new Workers while your old experienced ones will retire, you will build settlements to keep the population happy and you will praise the Gods to earn their favor. Caesar will reward you if you give away precious resources to build Hadrian’s Wall thus increasing your chances of becoming Praetor. Every turn you will place your Workers on previously built City Tiles to gain resources, Morale, new Workers or Favor points. You may also assign Workers to build new City Tiles or spend resources to meet Caesar’s demands to gain Favor Points. At the end of each turn, you will have to pay your Workers. Otherwise, the mood in the city will deteriorate. Most of the actions your Workers will perform will help them gain experience. They will become increasingly skilled in collecting resources. Your most experienced Workers will eventually retire and bring you additional Favor Points but you will still have to show solidarity and pay them until the end of the game.

Buy this game Praetor has way surpassed my expectations. The game was very fun and exciting from start to finish.You start as 1 of up to 5 engineers sent to build a camp to provide resources for the construction of Hadrian’s wall and grow the camp to be an amazing city for the glory of Rome. To do this the game requires a combination of resource management and worker placement. You place workers to gather resources (gold, wood, stone, marble, and weapons) then use your resources to buy city…
“Creating is the Essence of Life.” “Creating is the Essence of Life.” ~ Julius CaesarWhat better quote to describe Praetor, one of the most unique worker placement games that Iâve ever played. The goal is to gain the favor (called favor points) of Caesar by building the best city. You win by gaining the most favor points â imagine that!What sets this game apart from other worker placement games (like Lords of Waterdeep) is that workers are represented by dice. Pips designates the level and workers…
Worker placement, tile building game with some clever mechanics. This is a city building/worker placement game with some very clearly defined, and easy to teach rules and goals. Each turn a player places one of his workers on a tile to build it or on an already built tile to use it. Using an opponent’s tile requires you to pay them a fee. This game is very no-nonsense, it gets right to the point. The tiles either produce resources that can be used to build other tiles or provide points somehow.Each tile built is also worth a certain amount of…
