Who it's for

Groups who love loud, wheeling-dealing negotiation and reading a table of promises, alliances, and inevitable betrayals.

Not for you if…

You dislike deal-making or play with people who won't haggle. A quiet, negotiation-averse table leaves this game inert.

Vibe's take

All about the deals at the table, a fast-talking web of favors where helping rivals rise is the only path up, and prestige is the currency of trust.

About this game

Reiner Knizia trades his usual math for pure horse-trading in this ancient Roman power game. Your politicians climb through a network of committees toward five coveted Senate seats, but you can't advance without the votes of your rivals. Support someone else and you gain prestige, the very thing you need to win. Only players who land in the Senate can even claim victory.

Advancing requires votes from your rivalsPrestige earned by helping others wins the gameOnly Senate-seated players can claim victory
