ONUS!

ONUS! is a historical tabletop strategy game that uses cards to represent ancient military units such as Roman infantry, cavalry, and skirmishers. Instead of miniatures, the battlefield is created using cards arranged in formations.

This system allows players to recreate tactical ancient battles while keeping the game portable and easy to set up.

Players build armies using decks of unit cards and deploy them onto the battlefield in organized formations. Movement, combat, and morale are resolved using the abilities printed on the cards.

Positioning and flanking attacks play a major role, making the game feel similar to a historical miniature wargame.
