Yield! Fall of Rome

Yield! Fall of Rome takes familiar gameplay ideas and a well-known historical setting and distills them down into an approachable strategy experience. The entire design emphasizes quick play, with scenarios that can be completed in one sitting. The presentation doesn’t impress, but it also doesn’t hinder gameplay. I would have liked a clearer connection to the historical era and maybe a bigger focus on the leaders and diplomacy. Yield! Fall of Rome is a solid entry point for gamers who do not have much experience with turn-based strategy or want to engage in quick multiplayer sessions with a group of friends.
