A heavy Renaissance eurogame in which scholars publish treatises, build telescopes and chase Copernican truth while the Inquisition watches every discovery, turning each brilliant idea into a calculated risk.
Who it's for
Experienced eurogamers who want a two-hour engine of interlocking systems wrapped in a genuinely gripping historical premise.
Not for you if…
You want short rules, light decisions or a table where a mistimed action doesn't echo for the next hour.
Vibe's take
Dense, tense and cerebral – every action feels like it costs something you needed elsewhere, and the Inquisition adds a quiet pressure that keeps bold plays from feeling free.
