Cards & Components

Every Trajan component face with a picture and what it does: all 54 Trajan tiles with their colours, the forum, extra action, construction, demand, ship, bonus and quarter year tiles, the 12 commodities, the boards and pieces.

Board, tile and card pictures are scans of the printed components from the public Trajan Tabletop Simulator mod; the action circle examples, time track and pieces come from Ammonit’s English rulebook (2nd edition). Effects are in our own words; the rulebook wins. Commodity names are ours — the rulebook only shows pictures.

Forum tiles

70 tiles with one shared back, taken with the Forum action or by a military leader in a province. The rulebook does not give how many of each. Senate votes combine track position and tile votes; ties go to the marker further along the track, then higher in its stack. Both Consul roles are awarded even when players have zero votes, and Senate tiles in provinces stay there between quarters.
