Foundations of Rome (Maximus edition)

One of the most beautiful games yet the complexity is under 2.00 plus there is a cooperative mode. NOTE: 3 or 4 players is the optimal player count! (plus if using objective cards, private is preferred to reduce “cut-throat” aspects)

I just got this game to play with my good friend thousands of miles away (due to the following note):

This can be played by people in other locations who also have the game using Zoom, as per this comment under a YouTube video (and mentioned in the first video below):
