Eternal War

A card game very popular in the Roman empire is called "Eternal War" and the starting idea is an ucronia, based on the idea that all the empires currently existing collapsed centuries or even millennia ago and in their place there were born a series of successive micro nations, constantly fighting each other with increasingly modern weapons. To give an idea, just the European continent is divided into about thirty nations, more or less powerful. The game, which has existed for about 25 years now and is in its twentieth edition, consists of the accumulation of resources between two players, who must exploit them to build troops and buildings, and move on to the next era, in which they will have access to better units and facilities and so on. The development of eras and technology was based on the real development of technology, so that the game maintained a certain realism, while for other aspects, for example the characters, the creative team was more free. The cards are divided into 5 types: resources, which allow you to do anything; units, that fight with the enemy ones; characters, which give different bonuses; technologies, which give bonuses and are accumulated to pass from ine era to the next one; and finally interventions, which are instant abilities with various effects. The game is available in different versions on all digital devices, and for analog lovers there is even a physical and paper version. The company that produces it is based in the province of Britannia, precisely near the capital, Londinium. The creator of the game, Gaius Titanicus, said he was always a fan of ucronias and dystopias, and tried to translate in his game the idea of ​​an extremely violent world, in which there are constant wars, and human life does amount to nothing. The game has been so successful that several related works have been created, such as novels, animated or live series, and even puppets of the most famous and beloved characters. If the first editions focused on the world best known to the players, ie the area roughly occupied by the Roman Empire, with the subsequent editions we moved on to the rest of the world, then to the solar system, and finally to extrasolar systems, constantly expanding the range of cards and even adding aliens. The game was recently awarded by various industry experts as the most complex game currently in existence in the world, news that has caused controversy, as often happens, in the circle of enthusiasts.
