Ludus Coriovalli

Roman board games

Ludus Coriovalli is a PC collection of ancient Roman board games, centered on Venatio, a pursuit game reconstructed from a limestone board found at a Roman outpost in the Netherlands. You take the side of the hounds, hunting the hares, or guide the hares as they try to escape. The game’s rules draw on research published in February 2026, which used computer imaging and AI simulation to study likely piece movements.

Venatio has six stone boards, different opponents and optional rule twists. Guided play teaches the rules, while hints and undo are available where the mode permits. You can also replay completed games.
