Review: The Downfall of Pompeii

The Downfall of Pompeii is a light and fast game where players place their people in the buildings of Pompeii and then score points for each one that escapes the city after the volcano erupts. In the first phase of the game, players take turns playing building cards to place their people in the building that matches their card. Each building has a fixed number of spaces for people and, if a building is full, then the player can place their people in any building with spaces. When the AD79 card is drawn, the placement gets faster because if a person is placed in a building that already has occupants, the player adds that many extra people elsewhere on the board too. During this time, a player may draw an Omen card which means they get to throw one of their opponent’s people into the card volcano. Read the rest of this entry »
