Prefect

Prefect is a print and play game and a spin-off of the anticipated 2023 board game, Age of Rome.

The motivation for its creation is best drawn from the official announcement: “Is it just me, or does anyone else get tired of waiting for a KS game to arrive? Well, we are sure a lot of you might be feeling impatient (in a good way, we hope) about Age of Rome's delivery, so here is a little gift to ease your waiting. We thought it would be cool to design a small spinoff pnp game while Age of Rome is moving into production. And we present to you, Prefect.”

—description from the publisher

In the game, one or more players take the role of Prefect, an administrator of a Roman province managing religion, politics, farming, trade, and military. During each round, players roll three dice and select one to grow the province and two to apply as waste. Players balance growth and waste as well as carefully prioritize their choices to earn the most glory points.
