Players represent Ancient Roman Rooster families fighting for power & legacy by making deals and backstabbing allies. 3-6 players.

In Chicken Caesar, players represent aristocratic ancient Roman chicken families trying to create a legacy for their family name. Each family has several eligible roosters eager to jump into the world of politics, getting rich and creating a legacy by any means necessary.

Roosters gain renown for their families by occupying various political offices. Low-ranking officers don't yield much fame, but they hold both the purse strings and the power of the sword. A few roosters in the lower offices of Aedile and Praetor, together with the votes of a few well-paid (and temporary) allies, can clear a path to the luxury and recognition that come with the titles of Censor, Consul, and even Caesar.

Being Caesar isn't easy, though: fail to bribe and bargain to ensure the welfare of the whole coop and today's Caesar is tomorrow's Coq au Vin. Dead roosters don't earn any more points, but they do offer opportunities for their surviving relatives to exaggerate their accomplishments. All that matters in the end is history's judgment, and history can be rewritten.

Murder, betrayal, votes for cash, fragile alliances, and bloody vendettas will separate the legendary families from the forgotten ones in the struggle to become – and remain – Chicken Caesar!

At certain support levels, you’ll receive limited edition bonuses as a thank you for your pledge! Options include our Eggsclusive, Personalized Coins or Roosters in the game, Upgraded handmade rooster pawns, and more!

The Eggsclusive is a set of limited edition Rooster cards you can use in the game! These will never be released again so grab them now!

You get your name emblazoned on one of the Frumenti in the game, immortalizing your name on a piece in every copy of the game...FOREVER!

Check out the difference between the standard size pawns and the deluxe, limited edition Rooster Pawns handmade by the designers. The deluxe pawns are the tall, upright ones. The standard pawns are the blue, grey and purple squares with roman numerals. The rest of the pieces are just for comparison.
