Zama is a simulation of the climactic battle of the Second Punic War: the decisive struggle between the Roman Republic and Carthage for control of the Western Mediterranean.

The war began in 218BC, with the Carthaginians led by Hannibal, one of history's greatest commanders. The two nations clashed for over a decade, with each experiencing triumphs and defeats. Following the battle of the Great Plains in 203BC, a ceasefire was negotiated. It was broken following a Carthaginian attack on a stranded Roman fleet in the Gulf of Tunis.

Determined to finally win the war, Roman General Scipio Africanus led an incursion force into North Africa, the Carthaginian homeland. The opposing armies met near the town of Zama. Despite being outnumbered, the Romans were able to defeat the Carthaginians. With that victory the Romans had effectively won the war.

Zama is part of DG's Battles of the Ancient World series, that emphasises simple but realistic design features to show critical aspects of classical era combat. Special rules for leadership, missile fire, and elephants are included.
