Broker political power in Florence while deciding which souls descend through Dante's nine circles of Hell.
Who it's for
Heavy-euro players who want a thematically dark, mechanically dense worker-placement game with real economic depth.
Not for you if…
You're new to worker-placement games or want something light — this sits at the high end of complexity with a lot of interlocking systems.
Vibe's take
Dense and calculating — every turn forces a real trade-off between building your standing in Florence and condemning a soul for points, with the weight of the theme never far from the mechanics.
Inferno casts you as a power broker in medieval Florence with a very literal underworld connection: you decide which sinners get exposed and marched down through the nine circles of Hell. Each turn you either work the city's political machine — recruiting street urchins, raising your family tower — or condemn a soul, pushing the story of Dante's descent closer to Purgatory. The player who accumulates the most Infamy walks away untrustworthy and victorious.
