Objective:
Expand your influence, both in the Senate and in all the centers of power throughout the city, in order to gain prestige for your family.
Description:
Cicero is a strategic game in which players take on the roles of one of the great Roman families, using their influence in a quest for prestige.
Through the abilities of your first two senators and the actions you choose, you will attempt to increase your power among the Senate Castes and strengthen your relationships with the professional Guilds.
The game blends resource management, worker placement, card collection and hand management, along with diplomacy and political maneuvering.
All of this culminates, at the end of each round, in a vote by the senators aligned with your faction to assign the highly coveted offices… and secure the greatest glory of Rome! (or perhaps your own…)
