It is a board game where board is simulated on a pc and cards are on mobile. The players will start for a journey from suburbs of Rome heading to town center (represented by Colisseum). The target must be reached before the mayor closes the area to traffic (pedestrian zone).
The player drafts a card on every turn and it can be a movement card or a penalty one. You can play only one type of card per turn.
The movement card are of different colours and represents three means of transport: private car (3 movement points), public bus (2 movement points), your feet (1 movement point). You have to play the needed amount of movement card to reach the next node on the map. Every node is linked by one or more coloured arch with a required amount of movement points. So playing movements cards means for the player to play a specific amount of movement point that matches the arch color (the user can play more than one movement card per turn).
The penalty card consist on a challenge for one of the other players. If the other player don't succeed, it will not be able to move for that turn.
The first player that arrives to the colosseum on X rounds win the game.
Any guest can join the game picking a random event that changes the actual board status after each turn (not implemented, sigh).
