Grow Renaissance city-states and lure citizens away from rivals who neglect food, health, or culture.
Who it's for
Players who want a meaty, confrontational builder where geography and neglect have real consequences.
Not for you if…
You want a relaxed solo-puzzle builder or a short session; this is long, heavy for its era, and the citizen-poaching can feel punishing if you fall behind.
Vibe's take
A tense, interactive balancing act where your neighbors' cities constantly siphon your people if you slip on any need.
A weighty Renaissance city-building game where rival Italian city-states compete for population. You build farms, quarries, marketplaces, and bathhouses to feed, fund, and grow your cities, and each turn hungry or unhealthy citizens literally walk away to a better-run neighbor. After six turns, the most prosperous, well-rounded population wins.
