The prince is dead! The city-state has fallen into Revolution! Who will be the Machiavellian mastermind controlling everything when it's over? Each round, players secretly bid on public officials to spread their influence using bribery, blackmail, or force. The more successful you are, the more resources you gain to secure your position in the next round. But if you and another player tie, no one gets anything. Knowing where to push for support--and where to back away and let your opponents fight--is the key to victory. It's a game of bluff, counter-bluff, and surprise.
