Bribe, bluff, and bid your way to the papacy.
Who it's for
Fans of tight bidding games who enjoy a historical setting with a wink of dark comedy.
Not for you if…
You dislike pure bidding mechanics with limited long-term planning.
Vibe's take
Tense bidding behind screens – you're always calculating how much to spend without tipping your hand to rivals.
1655: Habemus Papam puts players in the sandals of ambitious cardinals scrambling to Rome after the Pope's death. Through bribery, persuasion, and careful bidding, you compete to gather the most votes and be the one elected to the Holy See.
