have just been looking in shops for Xmas presents and found a rather fun-looking game called Nero.

Its set at the end of Nero's reign, and the players take on the roles of Vespasian, Otho, Galba and Vitellius respectively. Ultimate goal? Easy, gather up legions and naval forces, march on Rome and become Emperor.

From the box it sounds like a lot of fun, but looks a little complicated - now, my basic question is does anyone out there have this game or has any one played it? Is it as good as it looks?

Thanks for your info,

Nope. Some of those things are just unuseful. I bought Jenny's copy of the Galley boardgame. Now to find a nutcase with whom to play it
