Full publisher description

Commands Colors: Epic Ancients II is the fifth expansion for the Commands Colors: Ancients game. Commands Colors: Epic Ancients II - allows experienced players the opportunity to fight historical ancient battles on an Epic scale. The Command Colors: Epic Ancient rules are not overly complex, nor do they change the way the basic game system works. The Epic game allows up to eight friends to experience the competitive fun of an Epic size Ancients battle, but Epic Ancients is excellent as a two player game where opponents want to take a little extra time with a battle. This expansion contains the following materials: Second Edition Commands Colors: Ancients Epic Rule Book 1 Special Deck of 100 Command cards, modified for Epic play. 12 Epic Ancients battles on six 11x17 battle cards 2 wooden card holders The battle cards are double-sided durable and easy to read 11x17 inch card stock sheets containing 12 Epic battles.

The other expansions will be very useful: Expansion #2 Rome vs The Barbarians , and Expansion #3 The Roman Civil Wars .
